Steve Steinberg Obituary
Gilder, Gagnon, Howe & Co. mourns the untimely loss of our longtime colleague and friend Steve Steinberg. A brilliant mind, a hacker at heart, a gifted writer, and a generous spirit. Driven but anti-selfish, hard working but playful. And behind permanent skepticism, a belief in infinite possibilities.
Always one to leave before the end, whether it be a movie or business trip, it's no surprise we lost him too soon. Still, his impact on our work will be felt for years to come. He pushed everyone around him to challenge conventional wisdom and look further into the future. Early to understand the power of the Internet, Steve helped us all focus on the awesome potential of innovation.
We will miss our eccentric friend greatly. We send our deep sympathy and warm wishes to his supportive parents Barb and Jerry, his sister Stacy, his ex-wife Lisa, and to his two boys Luka and Moss whom he loved and admired so much.

I am so saddened to learn of Steve's passing. I got to know Steve during graduate school, where I was lucky enough to work with him on a class project for CS 252 (graduate computer architecture). Largely because of Steve's brilliance, our class project turned into a paper published at a top computer architecture conference. I could never quite figure out where his ideas came from - he had this kind of genius that is so rare to see. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones for a generous soul gone far too soon.

I was Steve's personal assistant for 2-1/2 years in the early 2000's. I had an unrestricted view into his life while I worked for him and he was the most unique, particular, and brilliant person I knew.
My heart goes out to his parents, sister, and sons. I am grateful to have known him and will miss my dear friend.
