What you’ll learn

  1. Explain what entrepreneurs do and identify a real, validated customer problem.Entrepreneurs solve real problems people will pay for. Success starts with customer discovery, a focused target customer, and a clear value proposition, not just a clever idea.
  2. Build and test a business idea using MVP and the build-measure-learn loop.The Lean Startup approach uses a minimum viable product and a build-measure-learn cycle to learn fast and cheaply. Founders pivot on real signals and prove product-market fit before scaling.
  3. Read basic business finances and understand why cash flow matters.Profit is revenue minus costs, and pricing needs healthy margins. Cash flow and runway keep a business alive, and failing cheaply teaches the resilience that leads to eventual success.

Questions this course answers

What is 'customer discovery'?

Customer discovery means interviewing potential customers to confirm a real problem exists before building a solution.

Why is targeting a narrow customer group often smarter for a new business?

A focused group of early adopters lets you serve them well, get honest feedback, and market efficiently.

A value proposition is best described as:

A value proposition clearly states the benefit the customer gains from your product.

What is the main purpose of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?

An MVP, from Eric Ries's Lean Startup, is a simple version built to maximize learning with minimal effort.

The Lean Startup feedback loop is:

The build-measure-learn loop replaces guessing with evidence gathered from real customers.

A 'pivot' means:

A pivot is a purposeful change of strategy guided by data while keeping the larger vision.
