Part Eight in the Lean Startup Series When teams start out with lean startup, they often build hypotheses that are too precise – we assume we know more than we do. Remember, we’re looking for our first market segment – a specific group, with a specific problem that we can solve. We’re looking for a market segment that we can absolutely dominate. We need to start our lean startup process with discovery – and that is harder to hypothesise.

I’ve been running Lean LaunchPad programs for a couple of years now, and all along, I’ve thought that the number of customer development interviews that a team does is a good indicator of how successful they’ll be. Consequently, I thought that the magic in lean startup is customer development. The first one was textbook lean startup. The data on lean startup hypothesis is that nearly 70% of them are invalidated.

Companies that successfully bring new products to market rapidly, benefit from having a leg up on their competition while diminishing the negative effects of shrinking product life cycles. However, moving a product from lab to market is a process that in itself could use re-invention. The fact is, many large companies use anachronistic methods to bring new products to market, resulting in failed product launches. Lean Innovation doesn’t begin and end with product development.

In my last post , I described how sketching an idea on a Lean Canvas is akin to stacking a chain of beliefs. For an idea to be successful, it needs to constantly balance three types of risks: customer risk, market risk, and technical risk and I described the sweet spot of an idea being at the intersection of desirability, viability, and feasibility. Marketer, Jay Abraham, calls this phenomenon the Strategy of Pre-eminence. Download the Lean(er) Canvas PDF here.

Why do R&D labs succeed in creating new technology, but fail at bringing these innovations to market? R&D labs don’t bring new innovations to market typically because they are charged with inventing new technology, but not the commercialization of those inventions. However, innovation requires bringing inventions to market. But inventions by themselves don’t get to market for a variety of reasons. Lean Innovation
