In this podcast, I share a presentation about Lean Startup methods that I gave to students in the Masters of Fine Arts program at Pacific Northwest College of Arts (PNCA) in Portland.

Lean Startup helps you get rapid feedback from your potential customers before spending too much time, money and effort on a new product or service.

The students are working on sustainable design projects, and I thought this topic would be helpful for them. At the end, I also discuss Lean Startup methods applied to nonprofits, NGO’s and government agencies.

You can watch the full presentation with slides and embedded videos below.
