We’re building a start-up based on the lean principles. The reason is simple: none of us are ready to quit our jobs until we’re sure we have a winner. Call us cowards perhaps, but we have families to feed.
The problem will bulking up at the beginning is that no one will invest in your product if it doesn’t exist and you’ll never get started on anything. The lean approach encourages you to get off your butt and just do it.
For our situation the lean startup approach is working very well. We got a working product out the door very quickly and we’re learning a lot from our first customers. Plus we’re having a ball! [http://twegather.com]
