Startup Lessons Learned

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Tuesday, September 30, 2008 What does a startup CTO actually do? But I dont think most startups really have a need for someone to do that on a full time basis. But I think in a lean startup, the development methodology is too important to be considered "just management." I dont think so.

Lean Startup ideas will be a big part of the festival this year. Last year SXSW invited me to produce an official Lean Startup track for the conference, which I did in partnership with 500 Startups. In 2012 there are at least five new books coming out that explore some aspect of Lean Startup.

Funny how the labels work: The lean startup tends to be called that because of a trendy and fast strategy, a lot of flexibility, and a high-powered startup mentality. But ultralight startups? That sounds to me like an extremely small and economical startup. Image credit: Chad Zemendorf/The Chronicle.

It’s also not a new technique here, we’ve been practicing continuous deployment for years; far longer than I’ve been a member of this startup. But, unfortunately, startups cant afford to adopt that standard. Luckily, Chad Austin has recently weighed in with an excellent piece called 10 Pitfalls of Dirty Code.

Our salesmen focused on accounts that ordered the largest number of chips and ignored tiny little startups that wanted to build personal computers around these chips (like Cromemco, Osborne, Kaypro, Coleco, Radio Shack, Amstrad, Sinclair, Morrow, Commodore, Intertec, etc.) Keep in mind this is still several years before the IBM PC and DOS.
