What You'll Learn
In this course, I share my personal journey from computer science professor to serial entrepreneur, including my transition from a technical leader to a startup CEO. I walk through hard-earned lessons from my first time as CEO, the dynamics of founding teams, and how to navigate the early stages of startup financing. Drawing from my experience with nine startups, I cover what to expect—from friends and family funding through venture capital—and the critical mistakes to avoid along the way.
