Steven Gary Blank is a retired serial entrepreneur with over thirty years of experience in high technology companies and management.

Jim Harrer is a successful start-up CEO, turnaround CEO, interim CEO and an experience change management practitioner. In 1986, Jim founded Mustang Software to develop a line of modem communication software. In 1994 he took that company public (NASDAQ:MSTG), only to be crushed by the World Wide Web in late 1995. Jim reinvented the company in 1997 by creating a new email response management system called Mustang Message Center for companies like Nordstrom, Dow Jones, Carnival Cruise Lines, and others. In 2000 the company was acquired for $290m. Jim later went on to become the turnaround CEO for Web Associates, Starbase (NASDAQ:SBAS) and Alchemy Solutions while squeezing in the EventMingle startup from 2005 to 2010. Jim blogs about Startups, Turnarounds and other interesting things when he's not writing for VentureBox. You can follow him at JimHarrer.com
