Steve Blank

Columbia Senior Fellow for Entrepreneurship Steve Blank is a serial entrepreneur-turned-bestselling author and educator who has changed the way startups are built, how entrepreneurship is taught, and how big companies and the U.S. government innovate.

A defining voice in modern entrepreneurship, Steve will be honored in January with an award for entrepreneurial achievement by the U.S. Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE). We caught up with Steve to congratulate him and dig in to how the startup landscape has changed over the years, how to judge a piece of advice, and the role that education can play in the future of entrepreneurship.
