What is a Startup?

1. What is a Startup?

2. Search versus execute
Steve Blank

3. Founding of a startup is very similar to playing the
Minesweeper game:
you might think a lot about every step, but…

4. Indeterminacy may kill your startup…and will
do that almost certainly

5. How is possible to succeed in situation of low level
probability of success?

attempts as possible.

6. Try, fail. Try better, fail better. Try again and
win. Experience is really matter.

1900th – manual retouch
1800th – appliques
Painting with additions
Example of evolution of solutions for one problem
(“how attract attention to my picture”):

13. Every
letter
is

15. Build-Measure-Learn Cycle

18. Pivot or proceed?
