Our Review
The Lean Startup changed how Silicon Valley builds companies, and its principles apply to any business. Eric Ries introduces the Build-Measure-Learn loop: instead of spending months building the perfect product, build the simplest version possible, get it in front of real customers, measure what happens, and learn from the data. The concept of the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) has become universal business vocabulary. If you're building any kind of business — online or offline — this methodology will save you from the #1 startup killer: building something nobody wants.
