Summary
Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched.
Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business.
The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning”, rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product-development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

Absolutely mind blowing
It's very aspirational and challenges the status quo in innovation and entrepreneurship. the Innovation Accounting advocated here seems practical and there are enough case studies to solidify the argument.
The narration was also well paced and delivered eloquently.

I was close, but this book took me much closer...
To getting my Lean Start-up without the wasted effort. I have learned a lot and I will keep listening and reminding myself of this book and it's guidance. If you are serious of not wasting money and effort to get to market, to try things and how to validate success, this is for you.

Must listen for any entrepreneur
I hadn't read much into what to expect with the lean startup, but had heard it mentioned a lot before. The explanation of the systematic and scientific approach to building a successful business is spot on. Many times I found myself nodding along, because everything he says makes perfect sense - it just needs to be laid out in front of you because so much of it goes against the status quo in company management and product development today. This is definitely worth a listen.

Fantastic introduction
First up, this is a great, engaging audiobook. Flows well, and is easy to follow. Does not provude a lot of example but is a good intro to lean methodology.
