Finished a new online training, this week, MIT: Fundamentals of Entrepreneurial Finance (Entrepreneurship 104).
The general level was a bit basic for me. But I enjoyed a lot some topics such as the VC valuation method, choosing multiples and yearly discount rates according to various factors such as industry and investment type, or convertible preferred stock.
It was video only, which is, as usual, a minus for me. Usually slow, and including boring, irrelevant parts, such as irrelevant anecdotes and life stories. So, I skipped heavily, and also went directly to transcripts.
The transcripts were not easy to read, automatically generated, verbose. The course could have benefited from actual handouts.
I used ChatGPT heavily to complement and clarify the course materials. GPT is an amazing personal trainer and assistant. Great at maths, calculations, explaining formulas or concepts, giving practical industry examples, great at web search.
I tested Gemini in parallel with ChatGPT. Disappointing. Google AI is way behind its competition.
Didn't request the certificate. Don't need one.
Training and personal development: never stop. Finishing the year with a few hours of training feels great.
