Startup Lessons Learned Conference Videos
Last weekend, Eric Ries the father of the Startup Lessons Learned blog, organised a Startup Lessons Learned conference. Why is this so important? The issues talked at that one day event are pretty much the new black in how startups should be built and run. The key issue is customer development and trying to avoid creating waste as much as possible. By waste, I mean unnecessary code, partnerships or whatever the end result of your work may be that was not needed for the success of the company.
The Lean Startup In Helsinki By Eric Ries (Video)
Exactly a week ago we had a privilege to have Eric Ries here in Helsinki to discuss The Lean Startup and what it means for startups. In short, The Lean Startup is a way to get product/market fit fast and agile.
More particularly, The Lean Startup is a practical approach for creating and managing a new breed of company that excels in low-cost experimentation, rapid iteration, and true customer insight. It uses principles of agile software development, open source and web 2.0, and lean manufacturing to guide the creation of technology businesses that create disruptive innovation.
As Ries explained, contrary to the general belief, The Lean Startup does not only work for consumer facing Web 2.0 companies. It works just as well for B2B software companies and in fact for any company that is facing a market risk instead of technology risk.
This is probably the one presentation that I would not miss as a startup out all the presentations ever made. Real gold dust! You can watch Eric's video presentation below.
