ICYMI: Startup Daily TV, Tuesday – lean startups, proptech, going carbon neutral, and helping businesses thrive

On Tuesday’s Startup Daily show on ausbiz on Tuesday, regular guest Ben Chong from Right Click Capital explored lean startup theory and the ideas developed by its founding father, Steve Blank. 

In Ben’s most recent column for Startup Daily about building lean and keeping customers keen, he outlined the four stages to getting a startup off the ground and proving it has what it takes to succeed: customer discovery, validation and creation and company building.

He talked about it further on the show today.
