The Lean Startup is just another term for Design thinking. As happens mostly in these fads, it is just old wine in new bottles.

Design thinking was in many ways a predecessor of the Lean Startup. The Lean Startup keeps the same perspective of learning cycles as Design thinking, but whereas Design thinking was developed mainly for new product development, the Lean Startup extended this process to startup processes in general.

Design thinking is the thinking process that you need to complete before you embark in the Lean Startup doing.

The Lean Startup was developed by Nobel Prize winners and reflects a rigorous series of concepts that have absolutely no practical relevance. Design thinking was developed by a bunch of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs that is scientifically flawed, but somehow people like the term “Design”, which is the only reason it is considered useful in practice.

The desire for entrepreneurship among young people is significantly higher compared to older generations. Younger generations are more used to the constant introduction of new technologies and new business models and experience exploration and self-determination as a much more natural way of doing things.

The urgency of environmental and societal challenges requires solutions that do not exist yet, and hence require the exploratory force of entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurial initiative and innovations by startups and large companies results in a shake-up of traditional companies that require all other companies to reinvent themselves as well. The speed of this process has been increasing in the past decades.

Entrepreneurship is more important because there is an increasing number of courses on entrepreneurship!

Whereas an idea or a CV cannot predict whether a company will succeed, following entrepreneurial methods significantly increases the likelihood of success.

All entrepreneurs are just risk takers, looking for a thrill and don’t care if they lose all their money.

If you want to be a smart entrepreneur, you better take the potential of failure into account so that you can manage it as part of the process.

While the startup may fail, the entrepreneur may still go on. Very often success is outliving failures and accumulating learnings.
