Об этом курсе: This course covers in the chronological order each defining step of an entrepreneurial project. It begins with very personal considerations related to getting to better know yourself better so as to decide if you are ready for the multiple challenges of entrepreneurship. It then deals with creativity in order to provide the right set of tools to find an idea with the right potential to disrupt an existing business. We then discuss how to gather a founding team, how to raise money to initiate the project, and how to deal with day to day cash management. Later in the course, we discuss the art of selling, focusing on business to business sales, and how to measure the product launch phase using cohort analysis. Later on, we discuss the challenges of HR in an entrepreneurial environment, and of recruiting at a point where nobody knows your company. We then describe very practical techniques to initiate the international development of a small company. Last, we cover the exit strategy topic.

НЕДЕЛЯ 1
Knowing who you are
Welcome to the module 1. In this week, we’re going to deal with knowing who you are, because knowing yourself is the key to shaping a project that will truly fulfill you. We will talk about your “intimate mechanics”, and take a closer look at your inner functioning. We will also discuss your intrinsic values to help you assess if they match the demanding reality of entrepreneurship. Finally, we will see how you can analyze and then consolidate your “belief system”, i.e. the set of values that are the pillars of your personal and professional life.

I love this Tutorial.... i ave learnt so much about my self with respect to Entrepreneurship
I've taken many classes on entrepreneurship and this one gives the best real life solutions to real problems an entrepreneur may encounter. While most classes offer theory based solutions, this one not only explains things in a practical way, but also gives step by step guides on how to do certain things. As other courses would say "find a partner to join you", this course gives you a complete guide on what to do and what not to do.
The professor was extremely engaging and everything was interesting. There isn't a section of the course that wasn't useful. Everything is explained very clearly. Another very well thought out aspect of this course is that its interactive and feels very tailored to each viewer individually.
The only thing that I didn't enjoy that much is the fact that there were always the same guest entrepreneurs and most of what they had to say couldn't really be applied. I wish more specific examples were chosen so that the theory could relate to very specific guests with the exact aspect of what is being taught.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone wondering where to start their entrepreneurship journey. There's no better course to learn the basics without hours of theoretical concepts.
Nicely constructed and quite clear. I would have wished to have more time with interviews and business cases (interviews with some entrepreuneurs)

If you are thinking about launching an app, product, or business, this course will force you to do some thinking about early-stage finance, sales, hiring, and operations. The lectures are well produced, but the quality of content varies. You'll get some tips for social engineering your way through cold calls and early sales meetings, but little about how to make the best of an online advertising budget. Quizzes and assignments are reasonable, and as I said, force you to do at least some thinking about your priorities and the future of your business idea.
