*Hosted by the MIT Venture Mentoring Service*

Join author and educator Steve Blank, father of the Lean LaunchPad
movement, on May 20th, as he discusses:

   - The importance of Customer Discovery
   - Why do it? Why can’t I just develop the product?

   - Where and how to make your startup more successful

This is an event for all entrepreneurs (tech and life science) at all

About Steve Blank:
A retired eight-time serial entrepreneur-turned-educator and author, Steve
Blank has changed how startups are built and how entrepreneurship is taught
around the globe. He is author of the bestselling The Startup Owner’s
Manual, and his earlier seminal work, The Four Steps to the Epiphany,
credited with launching the Lean Startup movement. His May 2013 Harvard
Business Review article on the Lean Startup defined the movement. Steve is
widely recognized as a thought leader on startups and innovation. His books
and blog have redefined how to build successful startups; his Lean
LaunchPad class at Stanford, Berkeley and Columbia has redefined how
entrepreneurship is taught; and his Innovation Corps class for the National
Science Foundation has changed how the U.S. commercializes science. This
event is associated with the NSF I-Corps Site Program at MIT Venture
Mentoring Service.

Cheers
Vincent
