It all began by an experience I wanted to scale

How I discovered Lean Startup and Effectuation principles
![Page 12: Lean Startup and Effectuation principles applied to Mobile Angelo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/559b81c41a28ab15768b47e8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Both are very simple at first look :

Both aims at :
Start (and grow) a business Be in control
Pivoting
![Page 16: Lean Startup and Effectuation principles applied to Mobile Angelo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/559b81c41a28ab15768b47e8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lean Startup :
BY EXPERIMENTING (and adapting)
Effectuation :
BY INTERACTING (and adapting)
How ?
Same philosophy. Different approach.
![Page 17: Lean Startup and Effectuation principles applied to Mobile Angelo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/559b81c41a28ab15768b47e8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Common sense ?
Some people may think Lean Startup and Effectuation are « common sense ».
But only people who have tried to build a startup know that, in the middle of the storm, what is lacking the most is « common sense » :)
So understanding these principles is fundamental.
![Page 18: Lean Startup and Effectuation principles applied to Mobile Angelo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/559b81c41a28ab15768b47e8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So let’s review these principles and how I’ve tried to apply them.

Customer development
![Page 28: Lean Startup and Effectuation principles applied to Mobile Angelo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/559b81c41a28ab15768b47e8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Client ? User ?
We chose our first « customers » by the shortest feedback loop.
Unfortunately, people don’t break their iphones that often, so we focused first on our partners (the
repairers) as our first client.
What could we sell them ?
![Page 29: Lean Startup and Effectuation principles applied to Mobile Angelo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/559b81c41a28ab15768b47e8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Filtering our clients too
We moved from ‘any’ iPhone owner to busy business people for whom their device is critical.

Filtering our partners
We moved from handymen to professional iPhone repairers.

1. Means (Bird in hand)
November 2013
Let’s see if there is some demand and offer !
Who I am ? What I know ? Whom I know ?

2. Affordable loss (focus on the downside risk)
November 2013

3. Co-creation partnership (Patchwork kilt)
•My partner ! •Repairers •Parts reseller •Insurances •Concierges
Meeting all these people changed our business a lot.

4. Leverage contingencies (make lemonade)
Not eligible to innovation program ? let’s build innovation !
Some repairs are not satisfied with our offer ? Let’s focus our core customer base and grow it.

•Staying focus on what we do the best
•Avoiding distractive business ideas

Lean Startup and Effectuation teach us to be in control at any time, and stop predict the future.
So we have to move iteratively, step by step.
Keeping the vision intact, but focus on immediate action and progress consistently.

We’ll need to adapt :
