Running Lean

Who This Book Is For

An ideal reader of Running Lean is an early-stage founder, product manager, or intrapreneur facing high uncertainty and limited resources, who values evidence over opinions. They have a concrete idea or problem space, but no validated business model yet. They’re comfortable talking to customers, open to being wrong, and willing to replace feature output with learning velocity. They prefer small experiments, seek a repeatable path to Problem/Solution Fit and Product/Market Fit, and are ready to ask for real commitments—time, money, data—instead of settling for compliments. They can timebox work, instrument funnels, and make persevere-or-pivot decisions from simple metrics. They appreciate concise tools (Lean Canvas, experiment cards, RATs, MVPs) and want a cadence to run weekly. They operate in B2B or B2C and need help narrowing segments, shaping a UVP, and choosing channels. Above all, they crave a practical, test-first playbook that reduces waste and accelerates traction. With humility and grit.
