This lightening talk presentation introduces the concept of lean startups. It advocates building a minimum viable product, measuring how customers respond to it, learning from that customer feedback, questioning assumptions, getting out of the building to observe customers, and iterating based on lessons learned. The presentation uses photos to illustrate each of these points. It concludes by recommending following thought leaders in lean startup on Twitter and reading foundational books on lean startup and customer development.
