The customer development method was created by serial entrepreneur-turned-educator Steve Blank, father of the Lean Startup Movement. While Luisa Alemany, Associate Professor of Management Practice at London Business School, was preparing for her ‘New Venture Development’ class, she decided to contact Steve Blank to get his views on identifying customers during lockdown. Steve’s well-known words are: “There are no facts inside the building. Get out of the building.” But now that we’re all confined in our homes, how do we achieve this? To answer Luisa’s question, we were thrilled that Steve decided to join the classroom!
