By this definition, everything on Kickstarter is a lean startup. How does one draw the line? I'm having a hard time grasping how this is different than, say, Neal Stephenson raising money for a new scifi novel. Would that be a lean startup as well?
- dakrisht 14y agoPeople, and particularly this article, love to throw around "industry terms" to get clicks and create buzz. You can't fathom how many times "entrepreneurs" making the latest Instagram throw out the "change the world" line. It's fashionable. And I also hope it goes away real fast.

Yes, you could consider every KS project taking on the lean approach - but to explicitly state that and approach a KS like that is quite a bit different altogether.
