What Does Building a Lean Startup Actually Look Like in Practice?

Nearly 90 percent of new startups fail. For every major company, like Uber, DoorDash, or Airbnb, there are hundreds of more startups that didn’t reach mainstream success.

Are you an entrepreneur just waiting for your idea to change the world? Are you prepared to do whatever it takes to prevent your startup from falling into the 90 percent of startups that fail?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, be sure to keep on reading.

Here is everything you have ever wanted to know about what building a lean startup actually looks like in practice and how you can beat the competition.

1. Partner for Success

Sometimes, entrepreneurs can get so wrapped up in their idea that they lose sight of reality. Or, they find themselves in an echo chamber where their ideas aren’t challenged.

In order to build a lean startup, you need to partner with people who can help your vision true. Network, go to webinars, and go to conferences to meet people in your industry or adjacent to your industry.

The Lean Six Sigma Company is just one example of how a partnership can help bolster your success. They help teach you how to improve productivity, reduce operational costs, and so much more.

2. Have A Killer Idea

Bottom line is, if you do not have a killer idea, your startup is destined to fail. You need to have a great idea that people will fall in love with. Your idea needs to solve a real-world problem for its users that they won’t be able to live without.

It is critical that you have not only a great idea, but an original idea. You can’t just go and copy an idea that already exists. In order to be truly great, you need to solve a new, unique problem, not just figure out how to solve an existing one better.

3. Base Your Startup on Data

Your startup needs to be validated in its data. In order to be a successful startup, your business needs to be able to operate in the real world.

Ask yourself, does your product or service help people solve a problem? Can you back up your results with data?

Lean startups can validate everything they are doing based on data. They don’t make excuses or try to force their opinion into the results. Be sure to rigorously follow the data
