Seeing Both Sides

SEPTEMBER 19, 2010

The post is a great one, and it raises something I've been thinking a bit about lately, which is whether the lean start-up approach to building start-ups can be applied to industries beyond Internet/software. The case studies will go beyond Internet/software start-ups in exploring how other sectors can apply lean start-up theory.

Startups constrained by tight budgets may lean toward economizing with a single patent for each product. However, by adopting the best practices of large and well-established enterprises a start-up protects its most precious asset—IP.

If you have good experience then the VC will be leaning forward for the rest of the presentation. They might want you to start lean. What about Product / IP? If I feel a priori that the CEO can’t cut it I’m highly unlikely to invest. But almost all VCs care about investing in big markets with ambitious teams.

” Stay lean and only raise a big round if you DO find product / market fit and which point you want to loosen the belt quickly and raise the capital to do so. So money spent should add equity value or create IP that eventually will.

What’s required is an approach that leverages Design Thinking and/or Lean/Agile and, in addition , does deliberate concept blending (what I call a MoshPit) of your challenges (and IP assets) with outside-your-garden-wall Domains of Knowledge (including digital tech, but also new materials, and current trends).

And during our first few years we leaned in to help teams find the right home when it didn’t work out for them as an independent company. Acquihire potential absolutely isn’t enough in and of itself to justify venture funding (we play to win!), but in certain situations investors do talk about these things as positive optionality.

Looking back, I would have leaned heavier on attributing value and ownership to assets over having a supply chain of creative process.
