FOR the first time, one of the world’s leading business startup gurus is arriving in Scotland. The ‘Lean Startup’ thought leader, Ash Maurya, is visiting Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh to meet Scottish entrepreneurs and investors to discuss how to systematically identify risk in their business model at every stage.
Ash Maurya is the world’s foremost expert and thought leader on how to practically apply the Lean Start principles in order to reduce risk of failure and build a repeatable and scalable business model that creates fast-growth scaleups rather than zombie startups.

Ash Maurya has been an entrepreneur for nearly three decades, and has been in search of a better, faster way for building successful products since 2010. His mantra is “Life’s too short to build something nobody wants.”
Greatly inspired by the works on Customer Development and Lean Startup pioneered by Steve Blank and Eric Ries, he became very well-known in the global lean startup community and went on to create the highly popular one-page business modelling tool “Lean Canvas” and write two bestselling books that taught entrepreneurs how to implement the philosophies – “Running Lean: How to Iterate from Plan A to a plan that works” and “Scaling Lean”. He also founded LEANSTACK, which provides world-class tools, courses, and training that help early-stage entrepreneurs find repeatable and scalable business models.
