With real-world case studies, we’ll explore how successful startups grew from nothing into industry leaders—and the lessons they learned along the way.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the mindset, skills, and tools to validate ideas, build an MVP, and prepare for growth. Whether you’re a student with a side project or an aspiring entrepreneur, this course is your step-by-step guide to laying strong startup foundations.
