This week I had the pleasure
of interviewing startup legend Steve Blank, live via satellite, on the big
stage at the Discovery conference hosted by Ontario Centres of Excellence.
Steve is a California-based entrepreneur who originated the concept
of the Lean Startup, an influential framework for rethinking the role and
objectives of startups. You can read more about that in next Tuesday’s Post. (Link to come. here: http://business.financialpost.com/2014/05/20/silicon-valley-legend-steve-blank-explains-the-lean-startup
In keeping with the concept of “Lean,” I got to sit on a stool
by myself on a huge but sparse stage while interviewing Steve. He’s very
articulate and very funny, but he had a tendency to answer questions he wanted
to answer, rather than the ones I asked, so he required a bit of wrangling. But on the whole it was a fun and eye-opening
presentation that a lot of people told me they found fascinating.
Below, some pictures from the set, as snapped by members of the
audience and posted on Twitter.

Blank on his website.
