About This Book

The Lean Startup methodology reconceives a company's efforts to spend time on iteratively building products or services to meet the needs of early customers, rather than trying to launch a fully formed product to the market. This approach helps companies, especially startups, allocate their resources as efficiently as possible and increase their chances of success without requiring large amounts of initial funding, elaborate business plans, or the perfect product.
