How to Build a Startup

The interesting thing about this class was that it wasn’t really a course in the conventional sense I had seen them on other platforms (and even Udacity), but rather more of a seminar in MOOC form. The course is in 8 parts, and gives an introduction to important things such as Customer Development & Segments, the Value Proposition, Revenue Channels, and many more. Each of these subjects is central to Steve’s Lean Launchpad curriculum, and though he goes through them rather quickly – each video ‘lecture’ is on average between 1 and 3 minutes – and in little detail, he gets across the main point of any successful startup: the business needs to be run with customers in mind first. The startup needs customers to make money, and without money the startup will fail.

Excellent content undermined by technical problems. The non-multiple-choice assignment (which involves analyzing a business plan) is particularly annoying. It requires uploading of screenshots but there is no "upload" feature is available. The assignment must be graded by "peers" -- which means, if you happen to take this course at a time when no one else is taking it, you're out of luck.

Re: content, I would discourage you from taking this course if you don't speak fluent French. Indeed, you even need to understand how the French sometimes mis-translate into English, because some words in the answers to the multiple-choice quizzes don't exist in any English dictionary -- you will only understand them if you can guess what French term inspired the bad translation. The pace of lecture-hall-style discourse in the videos is such that subtitles will not save you if you don't understand French.

These technical and minor content issues are unfortunate, because the core content i s really quite good.
