Innovation Accounting by Ash Maurya
36 likes18,156 views
The document discusses lean startup methodology and innovation accounting. It emphasizes three key points: 1. Entrepreneurs should view their business model as a system and build models to represent it, just as scientists build models. This includes documenting assumptions and risks. 2. Startups should focus on achieving problem/solution fit, product/market fit, and then scaling, with clear metrics to measure success at each stage. 3. The lean stack approach of using a lean canvas, lean dashboard, and experiment reports can help entrepreneurs apply a scientific approach to validating assumptions and improving their business model.
