While entrepreneurship is in the news fairly regularly, I seldom make news myself. Today, however there are two important updates for entrepreneurs everywhere. Let me be brief The “Startup Owner’s Manual” goes On Press Tuesday 2/14 Two years in the making and literally ten years in development, I’m proud to announce that my new book,, goes onto the printing press next Tuesday. This 608-page work is, as its subtitle says, “the step-by-step guide for building a great company.” It’s the result of a decade of me learning from 1,000’s of entrepreneurs, corporate partners, students and scientists the best practices of what wins in startups. I’ve spent the last two years cramming knowledge into this new book.
In brief, the is far more detailed and more readable than Four Steps to the Epiphany, (most of the sentences are even finished!). In fact, you could say that all that remains from my last book are the four steps of Customer Development. Briefly, the new book: • Integrates Alexander Osterwalders “Business Model Canvas” as the front-end and “scorecard” for the customer discovery process. • Provides separate paths and advice for web/mobile products versus physical products • Offers a ton of detail and great tips on how to get, keep, and grow customers, recognizing that this happens very differently between web and physical channels. • and finally it teaches a “new math” for startups: “metrics that matter.”.
While MBA’s have had a stack of texts to help them “ execute” a business model, this book joins the for practitioners for the “search” for the business model. The Lean LaunchPad Online Class My online Lean LaunchPad class has created a lot of buzz this week. As you may have heard, I was deep into the production of the lectures when I realized I was producing the wrong class. The online class was originally based on my book.
Only when I held the draft of my latest book, in my hands, did it dawn on me that my online students deserved all the latest best practices of entrepreneurship and Customer Development. Not the stuff I taught a decade ago, but all that I’ve learned teaching the Lean LaunchPad in front of students at Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia and the National Science Foundation in the last year.
And I particularly wanted to incorporate everything I’ve spent two years integrating into into the class. So apologies to all of you who were expecting the class this month.
I hope to get the updated version online in the next 60 days. I’ll keep you updated on this blog as we record our lectures. In the meantime, if you want to prepare for the classor get a jump on your startup competition, you can start reading the “recommended text” for the online class right now by ordering my new book. It is recommended—not required—reading for the free online course, and I believe it will be immensely helpful to the startup community at large. Lessons Learned • Startups search for business models, exisitng companies execute them • There are tons of texts about execution, but a paucity of practical ones for founders on how to search • is the definitive reference book for founders, investors and everyone interested in startups • The Lean Launchpad on-line class will be based on the new book. On said: The book sounds great and just what is needed for the men and women working on a startup. We are looking for a textbook for our LaunchAmerica.org networking site to use with all types of startups, from mom and pop operations, new product development and manufacturing, to advanced Internet concepts.
I believe the lessons taught for the high-tech and high-growth startups can be applied to all types of startups for the benefit of the entrepreneurs and the investors. The more successful startups we create, the greater growth we will see in jobs and the economy, which is good for all Americans. Steveblank, on said: Lots of great questions whether an e-book edition of The Startup Owners Manual will be available. The short answer for the long term is we hope so.
The short answer for the short term is no. I am going to be focusing my next efforts next on: 1) getting the Lean LaunchPad on-line class up and running. 2) scaling the from 21 teams in 2011 to running at 200 teams/year the end of 2012. 3) developing and teaching a corporate entrepreneurship class at Columbia this spring.
On said: Hi, I’m working on something that’s well, maybe not a “startup” in the Silicon Valley sense, but to make a long story short, we do Kindle conversions and formatting, and I’d be happy to take this on for free if you want to get in touch: I really don’t suppose money is the issue, but whatever it is, we’d be happy to help as much as possible. Beyond the obvious value of getting to read the book, buying paper books from abroad (I live in Italy) is expensive, slow, and leaves me with more stuff to drag up and down stairs every time I move. Which is part of what got me into the eBook business in the first place Like. Engineer., on said: Hello Steve– I live full time as a nomad, I literally have all my possessions in a backpack. Been living this way for four years while doing our startup– its a lot cheaper to live outside the USA which means lower burn rate, and a better understanding of our international customers.
