It has never been a better time to be a tech startup.
The costs associated with starting a digital business are
dramatically lower, it is simpler and scalable solutions are much easier and
faster to deploy. Alongside this, your
solution can be distributed to a market with readily available channels such as
social networks, search and apps stores – all of which can be measurable.
But the rise of open source, cloud computing and the
newly created distribution channels, described above, has also dramatically
changed how solutions and businesses are created – known as “lean methodology”
– and has been embodied by “The Four Steps to the Epiphany” by Steve Blank and
also “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries.
