The Changing DNA of Entrepreneurs and Business Start-Ups

Geoff Riley

19th January 2014

Here is a great overview from the Economist of some of the ideas behind lean start-ups and the shift in focus towards frequent / hi-speed reaction to customer feedback as minimum viable products are launched into the market-place. Conventional views of entrepreneurs are evolving fast but they still need to have that driving energy and a willingness to challenge orthodoxy! The Eric Ries book - The Lean Entrepreneur - is given extensive mentions here and rightly so.
