2. Build - Measure - Learn
• Minimum Viable Product (baseline)
• “Get out of the building.”
• Pivot or persevere?
• Reduce the time through the loop.
• Marketing first. Code later.

3. Minimum Viable
Product (MVP)
• “The minimum set of features needed to
learn from early evangelists - visionary early
adopters.”
• Probably much more minimum than you
think!
• Solves a real world problem.
• Users must be willing to pay to use it!

4. Lean...
• does not mean cheap!
• is all about speed and validated learning.
• is applicable to all businesses facing
uncertainty (not just Web).
• driven by a vision that is rigorously tested.

5. Must Read
• The Four Steps to the Epiphany & The
Startup Owners Manual (Blank)
• The Lean Startup (Ries)
• Running Lean (Maurya)
• The Entrepreneur's Guide to Customer
Development (Cooper & Vlaskovits)
