    Really informative course. Covers topics related to biotech innovation, spinning out, financing deals, IP Protection.
    It also has interviews from co-founders who have themselves been on this journey and made it to the other side of entrepreneurship by establishing successful biotech ventures!

    I'd highly recommend anyone to take this course if you want to know the business side of the biotech industry as it is not the same thing as compared to other industries.

    It was very informative as it shows basic entrepreneurial strategies in BioTech. It was especially helpful to have a Video where we could listen to actual entrepreneurs and hear their real voices. You can't take all of this on board, as real situations and studies are different, but I think this is a good guideline.
