This study aims at explaining the application of Lean Startup methodology and reviewing different points of views and actions that it involves. This is a methodology arising in entrepreneurial environments, facilitating the implementation of business and avoiding wasting time, resources and efforts. It proposes to launch a Startup as a former step to take in company creation. In fact, this is an experiment which allows the entrepreneur to find a profitable business model before starting a business. In the accountancy of the Lean Startup methodology, its main benefit is to reach validated learning. This empirical learning process originates from some validated hypothesis through a product with minimal features to provide the entrepreneur with necessary data which facilitates the discovery of a profitable business model and the start of the company, reducing the fear to failure that stops the process in which entrepreneurs turn their ideas into real business.

Keywords : Entrepreneurship; Startup; business model; Lean Startup; fast methodologies; profitable mínimum product; pivoting; iterating.
