For Steve Blank, tackling the hurdle of developing life-science products is his Mount Everest.
Over the past three years, Steve Blank has taught a “Lean LaunchPad” course through the National Science Foundation, instructing about 400 teams of students in robotics, computer science, materials science and geoscience how to commercialize their tech ideas. The curriculum focuses on the business model canvas and students speak one-on-one with consumers to test their market hypotheses.
