I don't see any link to a selling site anymore (except Amazon, I suppose). Tedder (talk) 06:40, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

notability

I improved the article (slightly). Mr. Blank is a difficult person as far as notability is concerned. I believe he is notable because he is/was a key person at Epiphany and Rocket Science Games. (I have no conflict of interest- just impressed by the level of detail in his research of Silicon Valley history). Tedder (talk) 06:40, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've never met him, and have no connection, but I believe that Blank is quite notable, in the startup / news.yc community. TJIC (talk) 23:33, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock words

This article is full of self promotional, peacock words. 213.246.83.232 (talk) 21:32, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Blank is a legend in his own mind. This article is an embarrassment of bloviation. For the last 10 years Blank has been promoting his obsolete business insights while pretending to be some kind of Silicon Valley business guru. What a joke. What's even more amazing is the number people who seem to fall for this snake oil salesman. Give it up Steve. You were just lucky dude. Right place. Right time. Now go away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.100.148 (talk) 17:08, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article says he founded 8 startups. But it seems, from his own blog, that he was hired by most of them early on and not a founder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.29.188.159 (talk) 22:42, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Restructure and clean up

I'm trying to restructure this to remove redundancy and better convey the subject's academic work. Please let me know how it looks. TuftonboroLib (talk) 18:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
