Entrepreneurs Live Session – Steve Blank

A great idea and passion can be a great starting point for building a company that changes the world, but what does it really take to succeed as an entrepreneur today?

In a very special edition of Entrepreneurs Live, Steve Blank, the Father of Modern Entrepreneurship, joins Antoine Delmas, Instructor in Entrepreneurship on the Barcelona Campus, to discuss what it takes to create a successful startup.

This fireside chat will look at:

• Common myths about being an entrepreneur
• What a successful startup team looks like
• What it takes to validate your startup idea
• How to find customers
• How to get funded
• Why the future of entrepreneurship is mission-driven

An eight-time entrepreneur-turned-educator Steve is credited with launching the Lean Startup movement. He’s changed how startups are built; how entrepreneurship is taught; how science is commercialized, and how companies and the government innovate. He is an adjunct professor at Stanford and a senior fellow for entrepreneurship at Columbia University; and the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany and The Startup Owner’s Manual. His May 2013 Harvard Business Review cover story defined the Lean Startup movement.
