EXCLUSIVE: Steve Blank at VetCon2017 on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and the Lean Startup Method...

Steve spoke extensively on how his experiences in the Air Force during the Vietnam War prepared him for the “risky” world of tech startups – well, not too risky, because you’re not going to die if your business fails. He offered pieces of wisdom and advice to his audience based on lessons he learned during his service and out in the corporate world:

Volunteer for everything.

Immerse yourself in chaos.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Failed entrepreneurs are experienced entrepreneurs.

Startups are fundamentally different from large companies, and they need to be run differently.
