This course is quick and easy. IMPORTANT: No information is updated after 2014. All data is from years before that. Contacting the teacher's assistant doesn't work. That's fine since the basics I was refreshing myself on are still the same. I bet there's more up-to-date classes out there and the current trends that are mentioned in this course are very out dated at this point. Also, there are quizzes at the end of each "week", but the second quiz you can write whatever you want in the answer boxes and they'll mark you as 100%. Use this course for the basic information, but you won't be an expert in current new venture funding by taking this course alone.

Great course directed to entrepreneurs that provides you the nuts and bolts of venture capital funding. It is a very useful course for those in the process of establishing their own startup with step-by-step guides, first-hand experience presentations from entrepreneurs, lawyers, and venture capitalists, and additional helpful readings that augment the core course content.

A very good course. It gives a very good insights into the finance required for start-ups. This course is a must for all the future entrepreneurs.

I am having a good time learning about new concepts & reading from the resources provided in the courses.

Learned some valuable lessons while taking this class, and was able to form my strategy and get my documents on the right path. I'd recommend it to all startup entrepreneurs. It's helped me.

It's not going to do your job for you, but it will give you direction and focus.

Thumbs up!

The module was very deep and delivered by an aptly equipped lecturer. As an Entrepreneur it gives clear perspectives on where I should be focusing to effectively raise funding for my venture.

This is a great course that I recommend for any person who wanted to learn the basis how to create an Startup and their funding process

Outstanding. An excellent mix of reading and videos. Gave me professional, technical skills in the esoteric field of entrepreneurship.

There's so much I learnt that I total had no idea...I highly recommend this course for everyone who loves entrepreneurship

Module 3 has been the most challenging for me but I have gained a lot of knowledge on for to get finance for my start-up.

The lectures were very useful and very clear. I learned a lot from this course. Thank you Prof. Pratt and Coursera.
