This is the single best concise description of the steps to grow a startup. Nice job, Tony.

Only one thing to add. As my co-founder put it...

That's a good point. I wish there was a little bit more talk in lean about validating before coding. I don't think Customer Development and MVP covers the range of things people do here.

This book: http://www.runningleanhq.com/ called Running Lean is a concise how-to for Lean Srartups. I think it is the only book that gives you real specifics.
