Guest Lectures
Proud to bring in well known guest lecturs from the startup world
Steve Blank
Steve Blank is professor at Stanley and Berkley teaching entrepreneurship and innovation. He founded several startups himself and with these learnings he redefined how to build successful startups by developing the leanstartup approach. Steve Blank is originator of customer development approach – “get out of the building!” Mainly it’s about getting out of the building and meeting potential customers and learning to understand what problems they are looking to solve in their lives – before starting to build a product. This thinking is not only important in startups but in today’s business world in general it’s important to focus on customer needs.
