“So what is it that makes some startups successful and leaves others selling off their furniture? Simply this: startups that survive the first few tough years do not follow the traditional product-centric launch model espoused by product managers or the venture capital community. Through trial and error, hiring and firing, successful startups all invent a parallel process to Product Development. In particular, the winners invent and live by a process of customer learning and discovery. I call this process "Customer Development,” a sibling to "Product Development” and each and every startup that succeeds recapitulates it, knowingly or not.” – Steve Blank
