I am not quite sure what to make of this. Steve Blank teaches a class on entrepreneurship. If you have a team of Hacker, Hustler, Designer, Visionary Stanford graduates - sounds like you are 90% of the way there. Hell - I will give you money. You can say pretty much anything to a team like that and they are going to succeed. Almost sounds more like investing than teaching.

So...has Steve Blank discovered that teams of people from Ivy league schools who personally know Steve Blank and have his implicit backing tend to be successful?
