Startup Owners Manual
(https://amzn.to/3nlSm4W)
A practical how-to guide to Customer Development, which spans:

2. Customer validation tests whether the resulting business model is repeatable and scalable. It comes down to: will customers pay?

3. Customer creation: is the start of execution to test scalability

4. Company building: once a repeatable, scalable model is found, it's no longer a startup - it's a company, and may need a new team
