About the balanced startup
The Balanced Startup is a framework for thinking about, communicating, planning, executing and measuring how a startup business is developing the right balance for each stage of its growth. Businesses are economic engines, and to be effective need a degree of balance between their various components. Making sure they are all working in harmony, keeping speed with one another, developing and changing in step - these are all the task of a businesses' management team. In a startup, however, they are the responsibility of the entrepreneur. The Balanced Startup provides a framework that assesses the progress of a startup within each component.
