This Meetup Group is about the Lean Startup Methodology developed by Eric Ries. It is centered on the implementation of this methodology to the Internet startups where participants work.

Here is the format envisioned for the 2 hour meeting :
There will be no one presenting concepts or telling success stories. The group selects the theme for each meeting and we will post the links to the texts written by Eric Reis related to the theme/concept/tool prior to the meeting. Each participant is expected to have read these texts before the meeting. There will be little global facilitation.

The participants will work by tables of three or four and will discuss how the tool selected can be implemented in their startup. What are the benefits and the difficulties they see while implementing it ? The table will brainstorm and make suggestions on how to address their concern. Each participant will have 20 to 30 minutes to discuss his/her case and get feedback.

During following meetings, participants will be able to share their successes and difficulties of implementation with the group so as to create a learning process.

We will focus more on tools than concepts as our interest is in the immediate implementation of these tools in our startups and the lessons learned.

Examples of Tools : Minimal Viable Product, Customer creation, Customer development, Actionable metrics, Rapid iterations, Continuous integration, Split tests, 5 Whys...

Because of the format and the focus on implementation, participants need to be actively involved in an Internet startup - not just think about creating a startup. To facilitate networking, we prefer that participants work in Internet startups based in Berkeley, around Berkeley, or in the East Bay

All this is pretty open. Do not hesitate to contact me for suggestions.
