Design lean startup experiments (pretotypes) for a new product. Creates XYZ hypotheses and suggests low-effort validation methods like landing pages, explainer videos, and pre-orders. Use when validating a new product idea, creating pretotypes, or testing market demand.
Applies Steve Blank's Customer Development methodology from The Four Steps to the Epiphany. Use when a startup is searching for customers and a business model before scaling. Covers the four-step process: Customer Discovery (find if anyone wants what you're building), Customer Validation (prove you can sell it repeatably), Customer Creation (drive demand matched to Market Type), and Company Building (transition from learning org to execution org). Triggers include 'we built it but no one's buying', 'should we hire salespeople yet', 'how do we find our first customers', 'we're burning cash and sales aren't scaling', 'are we in a new or existing market', 'when do we scale'. NOT for companies that have already crossed the chasm into mainstream (use Crossing the Chasm instead), not for optimizing an existing sales funnel, not for product development methodology (this is its companion, not replacement).
Y Combinator startup methodology covering team formation, MVP development, growth strategies, fundraising, PR, operations, and hiring. Trigger when users ask about starting a startup, forming a founding team, building an MVP, achieving product-market fit, raising venture capital, startup fundraising strategy, doing PR for startups, startup hiring decisions, startup operations, or when they need guidance on early-stage company building. Also trigger when users mention YC, Y Combinator, startup acceleration, or reference startup fundamentals like runway, burn rate, or co-founder dynamics.
