Personal Details

Bio

Scaling-up the Strategic IQ of entrepreneurs and their unicorn-bound ventures, , I deliver unforgettable keynote speeches for entrepreneurship events that engage, educate, and entertain.

Entrepreneurs seeking competitive advantage in the fog of venturing will be enlightened and inspired to venture with vision! Yes, I am totally blind. And, while lacking eyesight, I abound with entrepreneurial insight!

Known as The Startup Unicorn Trainer, I’m Dr. Steven Maranville, Chairman of Maranville Enterprises—The Venture Creation Corporation.

Born with eyesight; I had the DNA that would ultimately cause the loss of that sight. By age 7, I was legally blind. And, into adulthood, I was totally blind. This loss resulted in a traumatic fear of change. Realizing life’s only true certainty is change, it was imperative for me to conquer that fear. So, I embarked on a life-long study of change.

I now use those lessons to educate entrepreneurs and their unicorn-bound ventures on how to be adaptive and transformational. In a manner of speaking, I boost the “vision acuity” of entrepreneurs who are adrift in the fog of venturing by removing their blindspots and fitting them with new lenses so they Venture With Vision!
