Steve Blank biography
Successful entrepreneurs turn to business speaker Steve Blank for insights on how to turn startups into enduring successes. As a widely admired writer, lecturer, and public speaker, Steve Blank continues to shape the future of business.
Steve Blank has reinvented the way startups grow, the way large organizations innovate, and also the way entrepreneurship is taught. Above all, as the co-founder of the Lean Startup movement, Blank has helped countless entrepreneurs build sustainable, scalable businesses.
Thinkers50 named Blank one of the world’s top management scholars, and the Harvard Business Review named him one of its 12 Masters of Innovation. A veteran of eight startups himself, four of which successfully went public, Blank left a 21-year business career for academia. He now teaches at Stanford and the University of California at Berkeley, and is Columbia University’s Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship.
His 2005 bestseller Four Steps to the Epiphany launched the Lean Startup movement. In it, Blank demonstrates that startups are fundamentally different than the established companies into which they grow. Several other books followed, including Not All Those Who Wander are Lost and The Startup Owner’s Manual.
Blank’s His Harvard Business Review cover story “Why the Lean Startup Changes Everything” showed how large companies can learn from entrepreneurs. Customer development, Blank argues, is just as important for established businesses as for those in their infancy.
Additionally, in 2009, Blank launched a celebrated and frequently syndicated blog devoted largely to entrepreneurship.
