(Founder Stories) Eric Ries: On "Vanity Metrics  And "Success Theater 

Ries 4-tc_upload.mp4Resuming their conversation from episode I, Chris Dixon asksLean Startupauthor Eric Ries to offer evidence of uber successful "internet/software companies that have adopted or used the lean startup movement."Ries has worked with companies such as Dropbox, Groupon, and Intuit, but he doesn't claim any credit for their success. He notes though that the larger point is this: "How do you know just because someone claims to have followed this model and that it made them rich and successful how do you know that is actually true? How do you know there is any causal link between the two?" He tells Dixon, "I want The Lean Startup to be a scientific theory that is itself falsifiable."
