What we’re about
Lean Canvas (formally 231 High Street) is a co-working & event space run as a charitable trust located at 81c Lichfield Street. Our primary focus is to support Tech, Startups, Sustainability, Small Businesses, Education, AI, and more so we would love to hear what you are passionate about. We want the people of Ōtautahi Christchurch to be able to thrive and be in control of their future.
We are located at Level 1 - 81c Lichfield Street (at the back of the carpark behind Pilgrim Cafe)
If you have an idea, then why not make it happen?
We encourage curiosity and have a NO RED TAPE policy so we can move quickly. The direction of the space gets shaped by the people that use it so if you want to play in improving CHCH please reach out. Collectively we all have an enormous network of people that can help at the exact stage you are currently at and support one another so let's rip down the silos together.
Vision without execution is just dreaming, so let's get ideas into motion. Now is the time for action and Lean Canvas allows for that, we are scrappy and nimble, using connections to maximise our resources.
If you want to get involved or help out in some way we would love to hear from you. Special thanks to Life In Vacant Spaces for helping make it possible. In our first year of existence we ran over 150 events. We have literally leveled up now moved above 231 High St; hence the name change to Lean Canvas and the new address of 81c Lichfield St.
