About this event

Join us for our monthly Community social. Grow your network, get inspired and get to know some other entrepreneurs from across Imperial.

As part of 2023 London Tech Week, join us for a Fireside talk with Steve Blank.

The fireside chat will be introduced and moderated by Professor Chris Tucci, Academic Director of the Centre for Digital Transformation and Co-Director of I-X.

Steve Blank is a Distinguished Academic Visitor at Imperial College Business School, where he is co-teaching with Dr. Cristobal Garcia the new Module “Wicked Problems, System Dynamics and Entrepreneurial Innovation

Credited with launching the Lean Startup movement and the curriculums for the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps and Hacking for Defense and Diplomacy, he’s changed how startups are built; how entrepreneurship is taught; how science is commercialised, and how companies and the government innovate.

Steve is the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany and The Startup Owner’s Manual which revolutionised how startups were built. His Harvard Business Review cover story redefined how large companies can innovate at speed.
