'Entrepreneurship 1: Developing the Opportunity' made me believe that i had all that one should know before starting up. I would recommend this course to all those looking to build the next big thing.

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.

Pleased to learn from the Best Acadameias, some of the materials are outdated, and long videos make me lose focus on studies.

Sound quality was sometimes a bit bad. Sound was only left side of my speakers.

Content could be more up to date.
