Steve Blank

    Autor sa vymanil z role "najmenej pravdepodobného úspechu" na strednej škole a vydal sa na nekonvenčnú cestu. Jeho skúsenosti zahŕňajú prácu s bojovými lietadlami v Thajsku počas vojny vo Vietname a pôsobenie v utajených spravodajských službách. Nakoniec sa v roku 1978 ocitol v dobe rozmachu Silicon Valley, kde založil osem technologických spoločností, vrátane priekopníckych firiem v oblasti polovodičov a softvéru. Po odchode do dôchodku sa venoval zdieľaniu svojich poznatkov o budovaní skorých startupov a vyvinul model "Customer Development", ktorý sa stal základom jeho pedagogickej činnosti na popredných univerzitách. Jeho hlboký záujem o históriu a rozkvet Silicon Valley ho viedol k prednáškam o "Tajnej histórii Silicon Valley". Okrem literárnej činnosti sa aktívne zasadzuje o ochranu pobrežia Kalifornie a ochranu prírody ako člen vplyvných ekologických organizácií.
