Entrepreneurship


...Entrepreneurs recognize they are going to have to follow their own internal

compass and embrace the uncertainty as part of the journey.

A startup is "rst of all an experiment, it is a human institution designed to

deliver a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty

At its heart, a startup is a catalyst that transforms ideas into products.

(From Lessons Learned blog by Eric Ries)

What’s a startup?


Get out of the building

Your business assumptions can be wrongGo out and speak with your customers


Lean Startup


Lean startup is a rigorous process for iterating from Plan A

to a plan that works.

(by Ash Maurya)

What’s a lean startup?


The Lean Startup is essentially the Agile process (also) for business.

In other words it’s a scienti"c method to design business models and iterate

around them developing new products.

What’s REALLY?


Lean Startup OODA loop


The Lean Startup’s book


The Startup Owner’s manual


“To improve entrepreneurial outcomes, and to hold entrepreneurs accountable, we need to focus on the boring stuff: how to measure

progress, how to setup milestones, how to prioritize work.

This requires a new kind of accounting, specific to startups”

(Eric Ries - The Lean Startup)

Innovation Accounting


Concentrate on macro metrics

Everything you do should attempt to change a metric

Try to use as few tools as possible
