What is the Lean Explorers Club?
How does it work?
The Lean Explorers Club has been designed to address problems entrepreneurs, investors and the wider startup ecosystem face:
- Wasted time, effort and funding starting a business that won’t succeed
- Traditional startup accelerators that are one-size-fits-all, lack flexibility and not always based on evidence-based entrepreneurship
- Difficulties investors face finding and seeing which startups are persisting and making real progress through data-driven evidence in their search for a desirable, feasible and viable business
- Difficulties entrepreneurs face finding funding for validated business models
The Lean Explorers Club supports business explorers to use the quickest and cheapest experiments to find a desirable, feasible and viable new business. It is:
- Open to everyone interested in using Lean Startup with Customer Development approaches to effectively and efficiently search for a business
- Always available as there are no fixed start or finish dates
- Individuals and teams can join when they wish, progress at their own pace and stay as long as they need
- Open to entrepreneurs and startups at any stage within their search for a business
- Offers investors visibility about startups investment readiness and access to early stage investment opportunities
Why the exploration metaphor?
What is Lean Business Exploration?
We believe that the search for and validation of a new business is more like a process of exploration than executing a known path. This means the team involved should be thought of as ‘Explorers’ rather than ‘Founders’ at least until they have found and validated a desirable, feasible and viable business model.
The Lean Explorers Club provides a process broken down into Stages, Explorations and Tasks to guide and support individuals and teams undertaking Startup Exploration. This ensures startups understand what needs to be done and why.
By this we mean the efficient and effective search for a new business by running the quickest and lowest-cost experiments. This approach increases the chance of success and reduces waste from starting and growing an unproven business model that fails.
