To put it mildly, startups have changed in the near-decade since Steve Blank wrote the entrepreneurs’ Bible, « The Four Steps to the Epiphany. » Web and mobile startups have proliferated, web services and tools abound, and entrepreneurs everywhere now develop a Minimum Viable Product, then follow Steve’s advice and « get out of the building » to solicit customer feedback on product, features, marketing and much more, iterating and pivoting their product and business model as they learn.
