Beware if you think after reading this you know all about starting a startup. This is just 10% of material - mostly surface knowledge. Read a book such as Running Lean to get more in depth knowledge.

Agree Running Lean is the go-to book and of all the credits, the author forgot to mention this book and the author as well despite using The Lean Canvas as a base for the entire blog.

Hey - author here. Fair point, all credit goes to the various 'lean' books; Lean Startup, Running Lean, 4 Steps to the Epiphany and Lean Analytics all come to mind when I think what inspired this. I didn't mention as I didn't expect anyone to think I invented these concepts, but I'll add a disclaimer. Cheers. :-)

Of course! This is just step 1 - validating your idea. Actually starting a startup takes a whole lot more time, effort, stress, and hard work.
