Prototyping Social Capital: Recap from Startup Lessons Learned 2. Eric Ries' Startup Lessons Learned conference was billed ahead of time as the Woodstock for now (if you weren't there, you'd say you were). The expertise in the room and broadcast emanating more than lived up to the billing. I love seeing the learning practices shared far & wide. Eric, huge thanks for organizing. As an entrepreneur currently in NY, the live feed was an amazing gift. As has become the start of a habit, I've organized a tweet archive, so sharing it.

I'm going to be talking about lean startups (and the IMVU case in particular) three times in the next two weeks at Stanford.
It's exciting to see the theory and methodology being discussed in an academic context. The entrepreneurship progarms of the business, engineering, and undergraduate schools are all tackling the subject this semester, and I'm honored to be part of it. Even better, my friend Mike Maples, one of the pioneers of microcap investing in startups, is teaching a unit in Stanford's E145 on "The New Era of Lean Startups. " It's a real challenge to communicate honestly in these classes. I struggle to try and make the students actually experience how confusing and frustrating startup environments are. When we do the IMVU case, we generally get complete consensus in the class that several of the zany things we did are 100% right. It's one of the hard things about learning just from hindsight, and it matters in the board room every bit as much as in the classroom.
Amazing lean startup resources. A year ago, there was no lean startup movement. The term was known by maybe a few dozen people. Being an evangelist for these ideas earned me a regular diet of funny looks and patronizing comments. At that time, my wildest dreams did not include even a fraction of what's happened since. I continue to believe that the explosion of interest in the lean startup has very little to do with me. Rather, I see it as a reflection of a worldwide openness to new ideas about entrepreneurship. Beyond my own efforts on this blog (and more), there is now an amazing variety of resources for lean startup practitioners. The Lean Startup Wiki (hosted by long-time lean startup pbWorks) contains a number of resources, including links to case studies, meetups, tools, and people who have volunteered to help.
Rich Collins organized the Lean Startup Circle mailing list, the most robust discussion forum for lean startup ideas anywhere, with over two thousands members already.

The Lean Startup has evolved into a movement that is having a significant impact on how companies are built, funded and scaled. Here are the top five myths about The Lean Startup, and the truth behind each misconception: Myth 1: Lean means cheap.
The reality is the Lean Startup method is not about cost, it is about speed. Myth 2: The Lean Startup methodology is only for Web 2.0, Internet and consumer software companies Myth 3: Lean Startups are bootstrapped startups There’s nothing wrong with raising venture capital. How to design your Business Model as a Lean Startup? « Methodolo. If you spend time exploring innovation methodologies and models, you know that configuration of such frameworks largely apply new ideas, assembly and build upon previous work (hat off to science). I have come to explore conformity of two emerging frameworks; the Business Model Ontology by Alex Osterwalder and the Lean Startup methodology by Eric Ries. The result, the Lean Startup and Business Model Canvas mashup is illustrated below. With the Business Model Ontology Osterwalder proposes a single reference model based on the similarities of a wide range of business model configurations. With the business model canvas (used as basis for the illustration above) Osterwalder describes nine building blocks that form a meta-business model.
On methodology, Eric Ries coins the Lean Startup, a practical approach for creating and managing startups using principles of Steven Blank‘s Customer Development methodology alongside Agile Development methodologies. Steve Blank.
