In recent years, Brazil has positioned itself as one of the worst countries in economic performance and business efficiency. In this context of the Brazilian economy, micro and small companies play a vital role, at the same time as they face high mortality rates just a few years after opening. However, the emergence of startups in the country is a parallel movement that has brought life to BHub, a company that positions itself in this environment, providing administrative management services to other startups and small companies. During BHub's few years of existence, it was possible to observe key moments aligned with the so-called Lean, a socio-technical model that aims to develop with the least possible waste. Through document analysis combined with participant observation, the use of Lean practices was identified, such as the creation of value and growth hypotheses, the development of Minimum Value Proposition and the use of pivots, in addition to Lean Manufacturing and Lean practices. Product and Process Development, such as the existence of expert leaders, information centralization rooms, technical documents, leveling mechanisms, problem anticipation and simultaneous engineering. In addition to these main references, they were also brought to this study in order to enrich it, which generated recommendations for the company itself and, eventually, others to reflect on opportunities to improve their respective realities from the point of view of different principles, Lean practices and waste.
