How does an aspiring entrepreneur know if they have a good idea? Sometimes it is standing on the train platform handing out surveys as Aaron Patzer did while at Princeton University to test his concept for Mint.com that was later bought by Intuit. Today, there are organizations such as Lean Startup Machine that run entrepreneurial programs and events focused on taking aspiring entrepreneurs through a methodology to validate their venture concept.
