Editor's Notes
#8: 2011 byEric Ries
Ries developed the idea for the lean startup from his experiences as a startup advisor, employee, and founder.His first startup, Catalyst Recruiting, failed because they did not understand the wants of their target customers, and because they focused too much time and energy on the initial product launch. After Catalyst, Ries was a senior software engineer with There, Inc. Ries describes There Inc. as a classic example of a Silicon Valley startup with five years of stealthR&D, $40 million in financing, and nearly 200 employees at the time of product launch. In 2003, There, Inc. launched its product,There.com, but they were unable to garner popularity beyond the initialearly adopters.Ries claims that despite the many proximate causes for failure, the most important mistake was that the company's "vision was almost too concrete," making it impossible to see that their product did not accurately represent consumer demand.
Although the lost money differed by orders of magnitude, the failures of There, Inc. and Catalyst Recruiting share similar origins, with Ries stating that "it was working forward from the technology instead of working backward from the business results you're trying to achieve."Ries began to develop the lean startup philosophy from these experiences, and from others observed by working in the high-tech entrepreneurial world.
#9: In a startup company you are not executing per plan, you are actually going to learn and discover from customers outside the office
There are no facts inside the building. Get outside!
You are not smarter than the collective intelligence of your potential customers
GE example
#10: Put together a process that help you to rapidly learn and get out to test some of your key ideas and key features of the product as quickly and as rapidly as you can
#25: 1. Audience building: build a community of potential customers by providing valuable services for free
2. Wizard of OZ: make a simulated product looking like a real working one when its functions are in fact manually carried out
3. Crowd-funding: utilize websites like Kickstarter as a pre-order platform by demonstrating your product in videos and pictures
4. AB/split: differ versions of a product are offered to differ group of customers at the same time to observe the changes in their behavior
5. Concierge: provide a customized, manual service that simulates the features of your planned offerings for a small sample of your target customers
6. Non-functional prototypes: paper/mobile app prototypes contain user interface elements and simulate the product without any actual functions
7. Narrative story board: ask the potential users to review a cartoon-like story board that illustrates a problem, a solution, and how the product works
8. Landing page: provide brief info on a simple website about upcoming product and ask the users to sign up by combining in doing multiple test
Choose a suitable / combined test(s)
