TOP REVIEWS FROM ENTREPRENEURSHIP II: PREPARING FOR LAUNCH
This course was very helpful However, I think that the section on how to value an investment could do with more information to clarify things.
This is a really fantastic class. There is some cross-over from other business classes but the way the topics are presented allows future entrepreneurs to do a run through with their product or idea.
Good course, gives you things to think about as you build your own business. I just do not like peer reviews where I need to download random files from other students to my computer
Amazing class with a great professor filled with nuggets of wisdom and practical experience especially if you are serious about starting your venture in the future.
