Summary of 5 Key Ideas

Test assumptions before scaling

Don’t fall in love with features. Validate core assumptions with real users using MVPs before any heavy investment.

Pivot around the engine of growth

Know whether your model relies on sticky, viral, or paid growth. A pivot isn’t random—it’s a strategic recalibration.

Make learning a KPI

Innovation accounting > vanity metrics. Define hypotheses, test them fast, and measure learning velocity weekly.
