20. Lean Startup Model
The most significant goal of a startup is finding a
scalable and repeatable business model and
the process for doing so follows the same
validated learning loop. You start by
documenting a set of business model
hypotheses, then systematically validate
those assumptions against reality and make
course-corrections, or pivots, along the way.
