Summary
Most startups fail。 But many of those failures are preventable。 The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe， changing the way companies are built and new products are launched。
Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty。 This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom。 What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business。
The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively。 Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing， it relies on "validated learning，" rapid scientific experimentation， as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles， measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics， and learn what customers really want。 It enables a company to shift directions with agility， altering plans inch by inch， minute by minute。
Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans， The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously， to adapt and adjust before it's too late。 Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever。

Great book on how to approach the building of new products & businesses， focusing on testing hypotheses through carefully designed and measured experiments。 It's the foundation of many of the approaches anyone building new technology products use today: MVPs， value & growth hypotheses， validated learning， etc。 If you've been building new tech products for a while there will unlikely be many new things to learn here given how mainstream these approaches have become， and the book may even get a bi Great book on how to approach the building of new products & businesses， focusing on testing hypotheses through carefully designed and measured experiments。 It's the foundation of many of the approaches anyone building new technology products use today: MVPs， value & growth hypotheses， validated learning， etc。 If you've been building new tech products for a while there will unlikely be many new things to learn here given how mainstream these approaches have become， and the book may even get a bit boring （I struggled through the latter third）， but the methodologies are great， well-explained， and the book provides a great reference。 。。。more

This book helps you to discover new ways to deal with the product and the market ， further it confirms the following concepts :1-build-measure-learn loop 2-small batches3-MVPAlthough these concepts are suitable for tech startups ， they can be applied to certain extend to other industries 。

Honestly this is just rebranding the scientific method for business/start ups， so a little overrated。 Had a few good insights。

The author reworks traditional biz development into the lean methodology。 This could have been a very dull read （complete with all boring metrics） but the real-world scenarios and down-to-earth writing made it interesting and easy to follow。The "startup" title is actually a misrepresentation。 The book also dives into established companies and how/why implementing a lean strategy is now so fundamental。 The author reworks traditional biz development into the lean methodology。 This could have been a very dull read （complete with all boring metrics） but the real-world scenarios and down-to-earth writing made it interesting and easy to follow。The "startup" title is actually a misrepresentation。 The book also dives into established companies and how/why implementing a lean strategy is now so fundamental。 。。。more

In general， I’m a hater of business books because they are all often riddled with selection bias and the advice they give is usually the opposite of evergreen。 The Lean Startup doesn’t suffer from those issues though。 Ries focuses on process and because of that he provides valuable insight。 In fact， his insights， especially those around minimum viable products， are so keen that they have effectively become common sense。 That said， the book could probably just be a pamphlet。
