  12. Lean Doing • Testing our assumptions about everything: the user/customer, the problems, the needs • Speaking to real customers as much as possible(moms and friends don't count – unless they are your customer) • Learning as much as we can about our market and our business quickly • Making consistent, incremental steps toward “launching” our business with an iterative approach Courtesy: Launchbit - Launch your Startup

  13. Applying Lean Thinking • Brainstorm Science Education problem • Hypothesize a solution to the problem • Test what you think is true about the problem and solution by talking to potential users • Validate every aspect - problem, solution, product, market • Find and validate a viable business model • Build a minimum viable product (your app)
