Learn Tools to Minimize Risk for your Startup

Get started building your business with the Lean Startup method! The majority of documented business ideas fail, but you can greatly improve your chances of business success by learning the Lean Startup method. Through customer discovery you can verify you are headed in the right direction by confirming you have identified a real problem and if your solution truly addresses the problem. Learn how to fail fast, pivot, then find a product market fit and business model that will be successful.

Start-up success is not a consequence of good genes or being in the right place at the right time. Success can be engineered by following the right process! Eric Ries, serial entrepreneur, authored the book “The Lean Startup”, to teach his method to de-risk your venture to other entrepreneurs, which the LaunchBox follows when mentoring startups. 

Lean startup is a methodology for developing businesses and products that aims to shorten product development cycles and rapidly discover if a proposed business model is viable. This is achieved by adopting a combination of business-hypothesis-driven experimentation, iterative product releases, and validated learning. Learn how it can de-risk your startup and get your product to market faster.
