I am most certainly dedicating more time outside of my office in front of the very people whose pain I am solving to show them the gains I can create for them. This I will di virtually and F2F. Thanks for a very informative talk.
This is an insightful conversation about starting a business. My main takeaway was the value of customer interactions and how to develop products that they want, need, and desire
i guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
Excellent insights, practical advise and tips about starting, growing and scaling your company by Steve Blank. This video should be "required" watching for anyone considering or currently launching a startup. Steve shares his vast knowledge and sage wisdom for entrepreneurs, especially in regard to product development, listening to customers and critical steps to starting and growing a business. Love his "behind the curtain" expertise & tips on sales, VC secrets, failure and listening to customers by getting outside your building. Bravo!
There seems to be something genius in the name Steve... Love the way he teaches, with such enthusiasm and humour and he is so knowledgable and explains his concepts in a very understandable way, great teacher. Would love to have him as a mentor :-)
Man I love real oldschool nerds. This guy is great! Thanks for the excellent content! Just a heads up, I'm an audio engineer and producer, there is a strange low mid nasally muffled tinge to both speakers that I'm guessing is coming from the lav mics. Might wanna try swapping those out. I don't hear the same issue with the HH wireless in the audience. It's not anything 99.9999% of people would notice, but just a heads up. Thanks again!
The exchange at the end alone is worth the investment of time. You have to align the customer pain point with the pay point - the quicker and more efficiently you discover this the greater the likelihood you can build a sustainable business. My opinion is that VC investment Should be delayed, hopefully permanently, until this alignment of pain and payments is demonstrable.
Theres a question that I've been dying to ask Mr. Blank. If your goal is to get funding from people who are going to eventually replace you with an operating executive once your business is scalable, then what's in it for you to find a feasible business model? If you won't reap the liquidity of your company, then do they give you some kind of severance check? How will you be compensated for your hard work?
This Commonwealth Club interview is insightful for those of us with good hearing, but there is no transcript or captioning provided. Approximately 20% of the online market would be grateful for more accessibility. I'd be happy to offer ideas to make that happen. Thank you in advance!
@38:48 I'm not sure it has to do with a belief system, it's just that you usually want to give it some time so that you can understand how a change will influence your whole model. That's about it.
I've made number of English mistakes, I only do such in typing but not in speaking because some times I forget to type a word or a letter or a verb but I still pronounce it silently.
Good advice if you are a start up with financial backing, fact is most start ups are small scale businesses that consist of one maybe two people, who have no money or very little. This is where advice is needed, ok listening, going out to meet the customer is obvious enough, it is getting those contacts that maybe are in another country (not all small start ups aim for their own town), how to find them who to speak too, what advantages do I have, how does business work etc etc, ok sales people understand this but start ups don't they develop a product/idea and have no idea how the game works and no finances to employ someone who does. I would not be surprised if many great ideas are not out there because someone could not go it alone. Yes I have developed a product that is very unique and global potential, have had sound feedback but no understanding of how it all works now? wasting a lot of time looking for advice on youtube and never quite finding it.
Pat Castlearchers Curious about how your product is doing now? Have you considered face to face advice with a organization like SCORE? They are national. How about an Incubator. I've done SCORE twice in the past, and they've been helpful.
the guy that asked the question from Cabulus (company name now flywheel) seems to offer a cheaper version of Uber for some reason Uber scaled up faster than flywheel (and they launched after) anybody know why ?
Question for everyone - how do you get user feedback (b2c) on a sw product before investing to even build an mvp? I thought about sending an Adobe xd wireframe design out to test a concept and get feedback. To understand if people would pay for it, I thought I'd offer a ~$40 lifetime membership (the service would be about $10-20/mo) once built... how have others done it?
Anyone who has ever tried to launch a startup knows that all great advice goes out the window when practice is in play so out of curiousity, how do you guys apply this type of knowledge to real life situations? Kind of a vague question but hopefully you guys can give me some insight!
I am intersted learning how about to build a great company step by step this difficult and seriously, concentration, and ambitions for studying continue , developing company is sames high risks
ONE OF THE BEST ENTREPRENEURIAL DISCUSSIONS I HAVE EVER HEARD......
Amazing talk. Decades of experience packed in a 1 hour long conversation. Thank you Steve Blank!
I am most certainly dedicating more time outside of my office in front of the very people whose pain I am solving to show them the gains I can create for them. This I will di virtually and F2F. Thanks for a very informative talk.
This guy is a genious. He knows what he's talking about, knows how to communicate it and he's funny!

I can listen to him all day :)
Zna mnogo
Mali svet kolega ;)
I like listening to Steve anytime.! Wonderful insights always.
Outstanding 1ST class!
Steve Blank is so engaging and inspiring. Guy on right is so dull and monotone, my brain goes to sleep whenever he speaks.
+Pareto8020 Apple vs Microsoft?
+Pareto8020 He's trying to not interrupt Steve to much, just add a point or two, here and there.
I viewed them as Steve Blank plays Johnny Carson. Dan is asking questions and is the “straight guy” in a comedy routine.
@@WallaceBMcClure That guy on the right was apart of the apple team and also the NEXT team with Steve jobs . But does anyone know his name?
Dan'l Lewin, is horrible and he spoiled the show
Great speaker, thanks for sharing your wisdom Steve.
Steve Blank is the best! I hope he writes more books and shares his experience in a disciplined book
Sitting here and listening to Steve Blank haviely breathing into the microphone is a life changing experience. 15:00
Terrific organization, right in my old office building in San Francisco. They have a GREAT library!
I would also highly recomend Steve Blanks book - 4 Step to The Epiphany -
Thanks in advance.
He’s incredible! Such a great instructor
i have learnt so much from Steve Blank...

Steve Blank: How to Build a Great Company, Step by Step
Totally worth the investment of my time to watch.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I especially loved his definition of what a Startup is.
There seems to be something genius in the name Steve... Love the way he teaches, with such enthusiasm and humour and he is so knowledgable and explains his concepts in a very understandable way, great teacher. Would love to have him as a mentor :-)
Exactly, talking in such a passionate way, he must have a very deep understanding on the subject.
Thank you Steve And Dan'l.

The book that Steve suggested is Business Model Generation
The last question's answer tho. It really enlightened me. Thanks Steve!

“A temporary organization designed to search for a scalable and repeatable business model”
I LOVE Steve Blank
good networking and inspiration
great speakers btw - given me a little ray of hope.

My opinion is that VC investment Should be delayed, hopefully permanently, until this alignment of pain and payments is demonstrable.
Great advice. I enjoyed every minute of this video. Steve Blank has a unique way of speaking his mind.
Brilliant insight, identifying Patterns - Wonderful

+Matthew Pinkney You own part of your company, and you can cash out. There are a few people who managed to stay in power though, like mark zuckerberg
this was very interesting discussion I love to have another insightful interaction
Great interviewer too!

Read 'the bootstrappers bible' free book by Seth godin exactly what you need
and some times I forget the s letter in plural or I forget the ED in regular form verbs, because I sometimes only remember their old look.
Really good
He is just full of funny stories :)
This was amazing! Thanks for the upload!
steve banks knows what his talking about.
What's the name of the first book he mentioned? Anyone help?
Awesome..........
the guy that asked the question from Cabulus (company name now flywheel) seems to offer a cheaper version of Uber for some reason Uber scaled up faster than flywheel (and they launched after) anybody know why ?
What's the book Steve gave the audience guy at the end?
Wonderful :D

I was just about to say that!
is there anybody knows,what is the name of the book that Steve Blank gave ?
www.amazon.co.uk/Business-Model-Generation-Visionaries-Challengers/dp/0470876417/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393029414&sr=8-1&keywords=business+models+alexander+osterwalder
You guys are beautiful; gracias!!!

The advice does not become useless, it is your job as the founder to put advice in the proper context IF the advice is applicable in the situation.
Business Model Generation was good but Kiyosaki did better with the B-I triangle.
The interviewer brought you this, so don't bash them man!
There's another Steve Blank?? Oh, that's hilarious :) I know a Blank drummer up here :)
Re five year plans: Have friend in Russia who shared a saying they had, "Five year plan in four years! Hurry!"
17:20 What does he now say? Hilarious answer from Dan'l Lewin :D
what is the problem with the microphones? sounds like they have their mouth full of bread?! otherwise, great talk! :)
No something else is in the mouth.
It's called gum
It's like warren buffet and bill gates had a child lol
At least 20% of time talking to customers. Great founders are curious and recognize patterns.
Startup definition... 22:48
Big Like (Y)
25:40 He's talking about me.
Two men that's be the actor
Look at their faces, the reaction...
i dont no hw to mk compny pls help
Great SB! The interviewer doesn't seem quite interested, though
Looks like it was all about the interviewer for the interviewer ... which was as grating to see as Steve was great to watch.
KOOL!
Was hoping Steve would ask the dude to pay for the book there and there.
BUSINESS is Business (Y)
Blank!!!
Amazing Steve Blank, and what's wrong with the other guy !!!!
I am intersted learning how about to build a great company step by step this difficult and seriously, concentration, and ambitions for studying continue , developing company is sames high risks
By the way, China still has 5 year plans and they inherited it from the USSR...
Appreciate the video being uploaded, but it was kind of a slow interview.
