Ask HN: How relevant is the Business Model Canvas still ?

Post by adrien_a » Mon, Sep 03, 2018, 8:21 PM UTC

I am a little surprised to see Steve Blank's course on How To Build a Startup (2012) still live on Udacity [1].

The class aims to build a business model around on Alex Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas.

The years have passed since the introduction of this model. Have you recently seen any entrepreneurs/gurus using or praising that approach ?

Why?

The years have passed since the introduction of this model.

Yes, the years have passed. And?

Have you recently seen any entrepreneurs/gurus using or praising that approach ?

No, who cares what "gurus" think. Evaluate it for yourself and come to your own conclusion. Do you have any particular reason to think that it's not relevant? Is there something especially interesting about "2018"?
