  • By 1994, Blank had already launched and built six successful businesses, so his investors knew they'd most likely score another win.[1]
  • Blank said he was upfront about his finances, and that every major decision was brought to the board ahead of time. This speaks to how many people in the company truly believed in what they were doing, and that claims of extremely few ppl in the company being gamers are true.[1]
  • "I had a public, humiliating failure, and still the people who lost the money had enough confidence [in me] because it was an honest failure" -Steven Blank. Blank later returned $1bil to his investors through his next startups.[1]
