Startup Valuation Methods

David Robinson, who handles the "meat" of the course in weeks 3 and 4 was absolutely dreadful in every respect that matters in a mastery-oriented online course (in which there is no peer community with which to collectively cover for poor instruction).

On a quiz for the fourth week on Anti-Dilution presents a question without reference to a specific scenario, so it is impossible to complete without guessing.

Excellent course for people with limited math skills or little experience with startup valuation methods.

I'm only giving this course 3 stars because of the excellent teaching in weeks 1 and 2 by Manuel Adelino, who is an excellent and thorough instructor.

I instantly was putting the techniques to work in my professional life.

The professors speak clearly, so they are easy to understand.

I had to search on Google for a more in-depth explanation of some valuation methods.

I simply expect more from Duke, no matter how much or how little I'm paying, and may not complete this specialization as a result of the time wasted in compensating for the instructor's shortcomings.

Basically said, "go figure it out yourself."

Some formulas are not explained in detail, which means some quiz exercises are difficult to make.

Useful for entrepreneurs and as an introduction to VC investing.
