How best to start something new? A Software Startup is the epitome of starting something new, we don’t really know what to build or how best to build it. In fact at the beginning of any software development, but especially a tech startup, we always know the least that we will ever know. So the best chance of achieving success in building your startup is to assume that your guesses are probably wrong and figure out how to detect where they are wrong and how to fix the problems when you find them.

In this episode author of best sellers “Continuous Delivery” and “Modern Software Engineering”, software engineer, and survivor of several startups, some highly successful, some not, explores how to start a startup. What should you be aiming to achieve in the first month in order to give yourself a better chance of success.
