Lean Startup Machine is an intensive three-day workshop, which teaches Lean  methodologies and hands-on applications to product, customer, and business model development. Considered as the world’s leading startup workshop, Lean Startup Machine takes place in over 150 cities around the world.  

By teaching the Lean methodologies, the programme covers a rigorous curriculum for startups emphasising the importance of validating ideas before they are built. Lean Startup Machine teaches how to build something customers want and run the right experiments to steer startups in the right direction. 

Many startups start to build the product before their ideas are validated based on the assumption that people would want to buy their idea or product. However, there are important steps to be followed even before an idea may be pitched. The participants of Lean Startup Machine will test multiple business concepts, identify which one has the most potential and will be equipped with a valuable framework of tools, techniques and resources designed to help early stage startups learn the right steps, the process of identifying and acquiring customers towards building a sustainable business before the actual building starts. 

Through the Startup Grind X events and Angelhack, the first and largest international hackathon in Maldives, Dhiraagu and Sparkhub have been collaborating together in the area of supporting the local startup culture and helping to establish the startup ecocystem in Maldives. According to Dhiraagu and Sparkhub, Lean Startup Machine is the first such opportunity made available in Maldives to address those crucial first steps and processes before ideas are pitched or developed and the educational workshop will enhance and equip talented young entrepreneurs and developers with the right skills, knowledge and mindset. 

The three-day full workshop of Lean Startup Machine will take place from 19th to 21st April 2019 and will be facilitated by Code Army, the Regional Partners of Lean Startup Machine.
