there is no right answer
a startup is
    not a small version of a
big company waiting to grow up
a startup is a business
       in search
          of a
    business model
you don’t find
a business model
   by writing a
  business plan
you need to
    get out the building
             and
talk to potential customers
an invention
something you sell
Well understood product management process


productvalue > productprice > productcost
productvalue > productprice > productcost




       someone to sell it to
productvalue > productprice > productcost
