"Lean Startup" - Seeking Advisors to Help Me Learn and Implement "Lean Startup" Principles

Advisor

Tom Cal, CFA San Francisco , CA

ACP & Veteran Community,
I am considering developing a "new product", and I am trying to "follow" many of the concepts outlined in the book "Lean Startup". I feel that I am trying to "create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty".

Are there any advisors experienced with or knowledgeable of "Lean Startup" concepts who can serve as an advisor to me?

Thanks,
Tom

Alan,
Thanks for the advice. I have tried SCORE, and I found no mentors in their database who mention "Lean Startup" within their profile.

I emailed SCORE HQ and suggested they try to add mentors in this "area".

Tom, My suggestion is to go to SCORE. They offer FREE consulting for startups. There are 400 chapters in the US made up of experienced business people. To find the local chapter, go to http://www.score.org/chapters-map and enter your zipcode. You'll get contact information of the closest chapter(s)l
