“When you are setting yourself on an exponential trajectory, it will be a sin to move linearly.”
The above was the juice of my introductory paragraph in the Book of Director’s post. Please have a look if interested

Happy to see Steve sharing his experience and thoughts about the Lean Startup concept.
Indeed, If you have the right ingredients, it is wise to be doing the right things, rather than doing things right.
I guess that the problem is not in which method to be used, instead, it is in the definition. We tend to define start-up: as a newly established business, linguistically. However, our brain paints a mental picture when the word start-up arose in front of it: A humble attempt at transforming a dream into a life-changing reality, or seeding commercial aspiration to harvest its economic berries.
Katzenberg, don’t tally with the above mental picture of start-up, neither it’s linguistic definition. Katzenberg cannot be defined merely as a newly established business. Katzenberg is a derivative of profoundly rooted expertise and deeply funded capability. Katzenberg (i.e., NewTV) is setting itself on an exponential trajectory.
