Content

Lean start-up is a methodology for developing business, which aims to shorten service and product development cycles by adopting a combination of business-hypothesis-driven experimentation, iterative product releases and validated learning. If start-up companies invest their time into iteratively building products or services to meet the needs of early customers, they can reduce the market risks and sidestep the need for large amounts of initial project funding and expensive product launches and failures.
