”There is surely nothing quite so useless
as doing with great efficiency what should
not be done at all”
- Peter Drucker -

real goal of innovation: to learn
that of which is currently
unknown”

Market type influences
everything a startup does

product?

trying to:

Pivot or persevere
”A pivot is a structured course correction
designed to test a new fundamental
hypotheses about the product, strategy
and engine of growth”

34.
Minimum Viable Product
1) Not a product but a test to attract early customers
2) Get as much feedback as possible, as soon as
possible
3) that version of a new product which allows a
team to collect the maximum amount of validated
learning about customers with the least effort.
4) The challenge is to understand what not to ship
5) requires judgment to figure out, for any given
context, what MVP makes sense

Validated Learning
Data driven or data informed?

39.
Metrics matter because they
relate to your business model
Use analytics to measure whether
your customers are doing what your
business model hopes they will

40.
Startup Metrics

41.
Lean Startup and Metrics
Qualitative and quantitative metrics.
• Qualitative metrics are unstructured, anecdotal, revealing, and hard to
aggregate;
• quantitative metrics involve numbers and statistics, and provide hard
numbers but less insight.
Vanity and actionable metrics
• Vanity metrics make you and your investors) feel good, but don’t change
how you’ll act.
• Actionable metrics change your behavior by helping you pick a course of
action.
Exploratory metrics and reporting metrics
• Exploratory metrics are speculative, and try to find unknown insights that can
give you the upper hand,
• focusing on the interesting and unexpected and on trying new things,
• while reporting metrics keep you abreast of the!normal, managerial, day to
day operations.

Challenges in applying lean
startup methods

43.
”A startup is a human institution
designed to create a new product
or service under conditions of
extreme uncertainty”
- Eric Ries -

44.
Attitude
1. Are you entrepreneurial enough?
2. Is there a visionary startup founder in
you?
3. Is your # 1 goal to build a product or
launch a business model for a vision?
4. Do you have a role in a startup team or
are you just there to do a task?

45.
Benefits of applying lean
startup methods

46.
1. improves communication with tech and
business managers
2. gives multiple shots at big goals
3. improving our understanding of where we
go wrong

47.
Final conclusion

48.
Think big, act small, learn
fast

49.
All that matters is

50.
1) that you really understand what your
customer wants,
2) have a discipline for finding it out, and
3) that you don’t start building a core
product until you’ve tested your business
model (hypothetical or real)

51.
Accept business design as
your biggest challenge

52.
Talk to customers and launch
ideas early and often!

In an early stage startup,
success is not in a "to do" list, it's
h
in a "to learn" list.
