But by taking advantage of open source, agile software, and iterative development, lean startups can operate with much less waste.

I was more open to it becoming a real company, but I never really expected it to be a real company from the beginning. We were on an immersion trip to Silicon Valley, and we said, “Let’s find a way to leverage [a previous open source project],” and we decided to build something around that.
