The core of the lean startup is two related ideas: continuous validation and building the smallest company that can validate an idea. The result is dramatically reduced costs, reduced time-to-failure, and reduced risk. A lot has been written and can be written about validation. But what I’m concerned about now is how small the smallest possible company is, and specifically why it is usually more than one person.</p>
