Lean B2B is definitively one of the most inspiring books I have read so far covering the B2B market. This is a must read for every B2B entrepreneur, Saas creator or consultant and business school student. It's the kind of book you don't read once, you go back to it on a regular basis.
Dillon Forrest
Co-Founder, RankScience
I learned B2B the hard way, making mistakes following B2C tactics tweaking them to make them work in B2B. All these lessons were in the book. I could have just read this book and saved myself months of runway and immeasurable frustration and anxiety.
Zakir Hemraj
CEO & Co-Founder, Loopio
Lean B2B gives and excellent framework for navigating these early conversations, especially when you have no experience building a business from scratch. Our team especially loved the bit in the book about segmenting your buyer personas into technical, experience, and ROI buyers... but that's just one of many golden nuggets in here. If you're building a B2B software company, I would highly recommend reading this book before you write a line of code!
Daniel Almodovar

Having read most of the classic books on Lean Startup (Eric Ries, Steve Blank, Alex Osterwalder, Ash Maurya, Cindy Alvarez, etc.), finding "Lean B2B" and absorbing its content has been essential to understand and/or confirm (since I’ve worked in a large corporate myself) what the differences in the B2B space is.

This book gives clearly maps out a strategy for validating problem market fit within large organisations. It certainly aligns with my own experiences to date. A must read for any entrepreneur embarking on a B2B startup.
