Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Eric Ries

by Scott Edward Walker on February 8th, 2011

To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a short video of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.

This week, we present startup guru Eric Ries, who is an author, speaker and consultant for The Lean Startup and a very smart guy; previously, he co-founded and served as Chief Technology Officer of IMVU.  In this interesting 15-minute speech from the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Eric provides an excellent overview of his lean startup methodology, including (i) how a startup is an experiment; (ii)  the importance of the pivot; (iii) validated learning; and (iv) the feedback loop.  I hope you enjoy it.  Many thanks, Scott
