Lean Startup Machine has hit all major continents around the world and it was time for Vienna to get lean! Tech Family Ventures (previously Segments) was partnering with Microsoft, T-Systems, Wiener Zeitung, Digital business Trends, Inventures, Vienna University of Technology and others to bring you a life­altering three­day workshop that has rocked the world.

Why Startups Fail?

The Number One reason why startups fail is because they build products that nobody wants. The Lean Startup helps entrepreneurs avoid this pitfall by helping them build products that customers actually want and are willing to buy. The Lean Startup is a methodology and movement made popular by world renowned author Eric Ries. The methodology has been known to save entrepreneurs time and money that would otherwise be wasted. This movement is based on the latest research in Customer Development, Agile Development, and Lean Manufacturing. According to Eric Ries, “Lean Startup Machine is the leading edge of this movement. It is the arrow­head of the spear.”

Lean Startup Machine is an intensive three­day workshop where entrepreneurs and innovators use Lean Startup principles to validate ideas for new products or services. The Lean Startup Machine Vienna gathered local innovators to test their ideas using the same methodologies that have been applied by Dropbox, AirBnB, and Zappos.

About the Workshop

Throughout the weekend, attendees participated in a very intensive process – one that pushed them to new limits and shattered some perspectives of their product testing capabilities. Participants were coached by local and international venture capitalists, angel investors, successful entrepreneurs, enterprise product managers, and the Lean Startup Machine team on how to apply the methodology. Participants from diverse backgrounds attended! Serial innovators, students, designers, large enterprise intrapreneurs and startup entrepreneurs.

Tech Family Ventures (formerly Segments) organized the workshop together with partners like Microsoft Austria, T-Systems, Wiener Zeitung, Digital business Trends, Inventures, Vienna University of Technology and other.
