Using lean methods across a portfolio of start-ups will result in fewer failures than using traditional methods. A lower start-up failure rate could have profound economic consequences. Today the forces of disruption, globalization, and regulation are buffeting the economies of every country. Established industries are rapidly shedding jobs, many of which will never return. Employment growth in the 21st century will have to come from new ventures, so we all have a vested interest in fostering an environment that helps them succeed, grow, and hire more workers. The creation of an innovation economy that’s driven by the rapid expansion of start-ups has never been more imperative.
1. The high cost of getting the first customer and the even higher cost of getting the product wrong.2. Long technology development cycles.3. The limited number of people with an appetite for the risks inherent in founding or working at a start-up.4.

Food trucks are much cheaper to start and can get to market much faster than brick and mortar restaurants. In many ways, food trucks fit the Lean concept of the minimally viable product.2. Food trucks can quickly and easily test new concepts, menus and recipes. In many cases food trucks are being used as lean start-up-like laboratories to test potential brick and mortar restaurant ideas.3. Food trucks take an iterative approach to their menus and even location based on customer feedback. "Build-measure-learn" is a daily occurrence with food trucks.4. Food trucks are tightly focused on their customers and interact with them every day.
I would serve this as a challenge for the Lean Start-up community. Especially the ones with the really audacious goals. Sometimes they start audacious because otherwise the product will never get to market. The Macintosh, that product had to exist in its entirety for people to wrap their heads around it, he said, pointing to modern entrepreneurs like Elon Musk’s ventures as ones that can’t be done on a small scale at first. You got to get the rocket into space.
