Introduction
My name is Richard Goers, I am about to launch a start-up [third] in the next 3 months - web based - global scale in financial services [not as interesting as social media] but will have a profound impact on the market space as totally distruptive
How did you find out about Lean Startup Sydney Meetup Group?
No answer yet
What do you know about Lean Startup?
read copious materials about lean start-ups and how and why start-up business fail - the most recent American research based around 3,500 start-ups, and having previously started two stratups along the standard processes in 2001 - 2004 Costs are lower, therefore new and current competitors can adapt faster = retail on-line market V brick and their response - it just makes sense commercially but need to get my head around not building a you beaute model with all the bells and whistles but have some 70% of what you think is required, build fast and lean, generate revenue, adapt the prroduct to the current market needs = get survival revenue and then progress the built to market needs still think there are flaws in the approach and want to learn where I may be wrong
What are you looking to get out of joining this group?
I am interested in working in a group that looks to contribute through action in helping start-ups succeed, as well as living the program in my current start-up = so to contribute and the learn I also want to explore the concept of adaptive feedback loops within the organsisation to continually adapt to the changes occuring in the product market place after launch - for cutting edge technology businesses [at least until exit] we need to adapt by nature - how do we do this and how do we learn - how do we ask customers, how do we change our business models - in essence, how do we adapt and stay at the cutting edge when I think we can never attain equilibrium in satisfying clients through a product/ service
What stage is your startup at? Idea/Testing/Pilot/Launched
I am at the point where I will commercialise stage1 of my start-up in Q1 2012 - having developed stage1 software - looking now at stage2 and stage3 programs in a program suggesting a lean start-up philosophy = so pilot to launch
