This PPT slide, part of the 56-slide Lean Startup Canvas: Guide, Process and Tools PowerPoint presentation, outlines the "Running Lean Methodology," detailing the 3 critical stages of a startup: Problem/Solution Fit, Problem/Market Fit, and Scale. Each stage is accompanied by a focus area and key questions that guide the startup's development process.
In Stage 1, the emphasis is on validating whether there is a significant problem worth solving. The key questions include whether customers genuinely want the solution, if they are willing to pay for it, and if the problem can be feasibly addressed. The tips provided suggest that startups should focus on understanding customer needs and the viability of their solution. This stage is crucial for establishing a foundation before moving forward.
Stage 2 shifts the focus to determining if the solution resonates with the market. Here, the primary question is whether potential customers desire the solution being built. Startups are encouraged to measure their success in creating something that meets market demand. If validation occurs, this stage is also identified as an opportune moment to seek funding, indicating a transition from concept validation to market engagement.
Stage 3 centers on scaling the business. The focus here transitions to growth, with the key question revolving around strategies for accelerating that growth. This stage signifies a maturation of the startup, where the groundwork laid in previous stages can be leveraged for expansion.
Overall, the slide serves as a roadmap for startups, emphasizing the need for systematic validation and growth strategies at each stage. Understanding these stages can help potential customers appreciate the structured approach to developing a startup and the importance of aligning product offerings with market needs.
