Decent content that definitely helped me come up with ideas for my venture throughout the course. The only sort of downside is the monotone professor.

My experience was very good, thank you for designing this course and I hope to put everything I learn into practice in my special coffee project.
This is the most enlightening course I've taken since graduating from Ashford University four years ago. I've been looking for the right place to continue my graduate work and if the next 3 courses in this specialization are nearly as good as Dr. Green's First Step in Entrepreneurship, I'll be magnetized to UofMaryland's Technology Entrepreneurship Masters Degree!
I know nothing about entrepreneurship and after this course I was capable to analyse critically a venture. I learned about risk assessment, competition, customer needs identification and business planning.
I loved the course, very rich of real cases facilitating the understanding
very insightful...lots of examples and sample cases...totally enjoyed it.
They push the University of Maryland way too much, the book and the videos have much of the same content. The book that you buy is written by the professor who runs the course which I do not agree with. The book could be more direct in how it gives you the lessons.
Total waste of time. too superfluous and always try to sell you a book.
An entrepreneur doesn't have time to lost. Please remove this course.
I recommend this course, Extremely knowledgeable, in the beginning i thought it will be just a another book of bore-dome but it covers all the topics and questions in well manner, in every step it proved me wrong and i didn't get up from this course until i had completed it. I am very thank full to "coursera" and Dr, James for this effort.
A very extensive course that gives you the right framework and right mindset in developing innovative ideas for new companies. A must for someone who is a learner who has a vision for the future. I highly recommend this course for everyone planning to build
Thanks for providing this exceptional material, which clarifies and inspires people to launch their dreams into realities. Never is easy, but having this lectures as a tools to achieve them is great.
Good one with superficial details. I recommend one example for the entire opportunity analysis so that it helps to solve some doubts while we are making the opportunity analysis for our company.

This is very nice course for the people who wants to start their own startup. This course really helps to make different types of decisions.
Was a very well organized module. Was really more informative than even a few accelerator programs I've been in.
Excellent.....extremely educative with videos and presentations on how a business has to perform.
Amazingly insightful course, especially for beginners like me.
Great professor. Learned so much!
