    Even as I had started with a fragmented idea about entrepreneurship, this course kind of helped to articulate and build a structure of thought process around it. Looking forward for the courses ahead.

    IMO it started good, but you lost my interest in this course when it started repeating itself into annoyance on the prototyping part. Enjoyed the Ulrich and Huang sessions, as they kept my attention and kept the presentation without to much jibberish around the key points. Picked up a couple of good items such as the profiling type of companies and the idea generation. On the idea generation this differ to many other idea generation sessions, and this one is nicely backed up with empirical data.

    Though it was a great course, I learned a lot of things related to the core principles, ethics and process of how a firm works.

    But I am not giving this course full stars because I felt the course was pretty centric on the commodity or the product-based information. I wish this course could have also focused on service-based enterprises and their functions.

    Although this course was cool and I enjoyed it.

    Some useful frameworks but would have preferred to see more time spent addressing models and frameworks for testing the potential success of new ideas and comparing between different ideas. The tournament model covered here was not sufficient to really address this issue and it requires more depth. But otherwise a decent introduction to those not familiar/ experienced with business/ start ups.

    Course can be twice shorter as it's full of water to make you curious "What's next? will I know something really meaningfull to launch my start-up?" Spreadsheer is a quite usefull tool as well as some tips abpout surveys and interviews. And a general idea of "what is it to be an entrepreneur" and how to treat whole idea of being an entrepreneur.

    Would be better if they updated the audio and video interviews (optional) content which are pretty old for 2025! Some of the companies and founders have shut down and moved on making these not so interesting anymore also given that there are multiple online fresh material(s) about their retrospections and journeys onwards.

    The course is poorly structured, as well as most of the suggested frameworks. I would expect more MECE structure or step-by-step description of what needs to be done. Instead, course is jumping from topic to topic all the time and not always provide overview of how all the bits and pieces fit into big picture.

    Nice introduction, but could use more examples that are developed as part of the course. The detailed examples from the lecturers past are very valuable, but do not always bring across how the method is to implement one of the taught approaches

    The course is good. helped me to get the insights about developing opportunity in entrepreneurship.

    It can be improve by giving more explanatory examples with latest trends.

    The courses are a bit old now (2014). I love Pr. Ethan Mollick courses, other professors are more theorical and less accurate. Overall it's just ok, could be much better

    Good simple course to start you thinking about how to create a company. SImple but important take- aways. A bit too costly for the level of depth.
