    Great experience and review of business concepts. Picked up a lot of great advice and validated much from experience and reading. Anyone starting a business should first take this course.

    This course has some of the best advice that I have received so far on entrepreneurship. Its hands-on approach helps develop several key skills that every entrepreneur will benefit from.

    Yes, I learned a lot, but I think it is little thanks to the capstone. Mostly thanks to research and pitch decks & tools I found online. Also, peers grading you - I think you might get knowledgable ones and those who are invested or you get ones that don't really care. In the latter case, their feedback or grade is really useless. Did I pass? Yeah. The real value of my project? No idea. Would it stand its ground on front of investors or else? Not sure, because I did not get professional feedback on it, just peers.

    It would be better and stand more legitimate if it is reviewed by Wharton faculty itself instead of only peers.

    I think the peer-to-peer review should also be paired by some kind of review by the Wharton online faculty.

    I was expecting a better feedback and in general a better course. It would be amazing if you received feedback from the professors, at least the best ones.

    Thank you

    This capstone sums all the other 4 entrepreneurship courses that are required to be taken before enrolling in this. Step by step guidelines is given on how to make the pitch and how to prepare a slide deck for VC. Wharton School is known for finance, entrepreneurship and it has done an exemplary job for providing this learning module and should be appreciated for providing its teaching and its faculty for students to learn.

    The course is heavily a review of the first three courses. As someone who works in the world of startups and private equity there are several parts of this specialization that are very outdated, especially in reference to some of the data and companies being used in the examples. The pitch deck you create is something that is usually customizable to each investor you pitch to, so this capstone was an opportunity to create a good blueprint to build upon for future presentations, yet you are graded on peer feedback which was not extremely helpful being most of them are aspiring and/or not fellow entrepreneurs who are actually experienced in the world of startups and private equity. All in all the capstone and specialization as a whole is a great introduction and/or refresher on core principals and business applications to begin dipping you toe into developing your product and bringing it to market but glosses over some very important factors that can make or break you chance of success.

    complete course 5 is not allowed by the platform, i can't upload a project because that menu is blocked waiting session start but following coursera help pages coursera says "now there are no more session courses"...other coursera blog posts says that i need contact to coursera support to solve this but due covid (i guess) support page doesn't allows me open a support ticket... support page message: "We are experiencing high volumes of learner support inquiries right now, so we are slower than usual to respond. We appreciate your patience!...so basically i'm stuck in a loop without ending...

    I was absolutely clueless and my risk taking appetite for a startup was very low. I did not want to do any elaborate MBA programs, but something which was very focused on start ups, while I am still doing my day job. This course fitted the bill and had a wonderful experience listening to such a mature faculty who are themselves hands on into startups. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

    The entire journey from the start to this stage , Excellent and skilled instructors and I think that it requires the right knowledge and practice to teach.

    I did wish to give back in form of being a trainer or a mentor and keep my knowledge sharpened at all time till my last day.

    In the introduction to this specialization, the statement was made that the spirit of entrepreneurship could not be taught, but there were a number of skills and topics that a budding entrepreneur being well versed in could vastly increase their chance of success. The content of these courses and the capstone appear to have done just that. My only disappointment was that the feedback in the capstone only came from other students and not from any of the professors, which I think would have been useful to assessing how well I learned the material presented. Otherwise, I thought it was a great experience.

    Great way to complete the program... however, was quite surprised by the quality of some of the pitches I evaluated. I would have expected a better finished product from those who participated in the previous 4 courses.

    Badly done, optional assignments that are never marked as completed. Nobody reviews your assignments, this coursera model is HORRIBLE.

    I'm thrilled to share that I've completed my Entrepreneur Specialization from the prestigious Wharton School of Business! Throughout this journey, I not only gained invaluable knowledge but also had the pleasure of working with exceptional Wharton professors who made learning an absolute delight. The experience was truly exciting, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this esteemed program. Bringing innovative ideas to life and turning them into reality has been an incredible ride, and I'm eager to apply my newfound skills to drive success in my entrepreneurial endeavors

    Really a great specialization, this will teach you a-z of entrepreneurship. I loved the way the specialization was presented- it had theoretical and practical aspects, both covered in full detail. the capstone project was really great as it will put your knowledge into practical use.

    This course helped me get my mind around all the pieces of setting up a business. It gave me an understanding of the mechanics of the process and of best practices as far as staffing and funding. It also provided me with resources that I can use as I continue on.

    One of the best specializations out there. Really enjoyed the course. Only recommendation would be to have instructors review the final pitch, peer review slows things down a bit!

    Great course

    The best thing about it is that you require no prior knowledge or experience in entrepreneurship as a subject.

    Highly recommend it to everyone.
