Quotes

  • Ilya Novikovhas quoted8 years ago
    Customer Development is damn hard work. You can’t fake it. You can’t just do the slides or “do” the process in a weekend. It’s a full-time, full-body-contact sport. It’s a long-term commitment to changing the way a startup is built. But it’s also proven to increase the chances of startup success.
  • erinaekaterinahas quoted4 years ago
    It offered a reexamination of the existing product-introduction process and delineated a radically different method that brings customers and their needs headfirst into the process long before the launch.
  • Eugenia Tarakanovahas quoted6 years ago
    Business Plan is a document written by existing companies to describe and launch follow-on or adjacent market products. It was mistakenly used for startups for decades until it was realized that no business plan survives first contact with customers.
