At Imvu, We Opened Up Our Board

You Know How People Always Talk About How Vision Is The Key To Entrepreneurship And Perseverance And Really Seeing What Other People Don't See? We Can Actually Redeem A Fair Amount Of That Folk Wisdom.

Progress In Manufacturing Is Measured By The Production Of High Quality Goods. The Unit Of Progress For Lean Startups Is Validated Learning-a Rigorous Method For Demonstrating Progress When One Is Embedded In The Soil Of Extreme Uncertainty.

The Goal Of Every Startup Experiment Is To Discover How To Build A Sustainable Business Around That Vision.

If The Plan Is To See What Happens, A Team Is Guaranteed To Succeed - At Seeing What Happens - But Won't Necessarily Gain Validated Learning - If You Cannot Fail, You Cannot Learn.

It Doesn't Matter If You Call It A Boom Or A Bubble. The Startup Business Moves In Cycles, And What Goes Up Will Eventually Come Down.
