About the Entrepreneurship curriculum

The Entrepreneurship curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in business, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of Opportunity validation and Core methods in Customer discovery, moves through Applying Business models and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in Team & operations and Mastering Scaling & exit paths.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from Opportunity validation and Hands-on: opportunity validation at the start to Hands-on: scaling & exit paths and Checking your understanding of scaling & exit paths by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It is aimed at founders, managers and professionals who need working judgement rather than theory for its own sake. Cases and decision frameworks carry the weight here: you apply each concept to a realistic scenario, weigh the trade-offs and produce a recommendation you can defend.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end of the Entrepreneurship path you should be able to work confidently with:

Opportunity validation

Hands-on: opportunity validation

Checking your understanding of opportunity validation

Intermediate Entrepreneurship

Start with Opportunity validation, Customer discovery and Business models. Each module explains the idea, shows a worked example and ends with a short project, so Entrepreneurship becomes something you can do rather than something you have only read about.

Modules: Foundations of Opportunity validation · Core methods in Customer discovery · Applying Business models

  • Opportunity validation: This module treats Opportunity validation as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Entrepreneurship.
  • Hands-on: opportunity validation: Opportunity validation is introduced from first principles, with the few terms you actually need and an example that shows how the idea behaves in practice.
  • Checking your understanding of opportunity validation: This module treats Opportunity validation as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Entrepreneurship.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of Opportunity validation in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Entrepreneurship

Build on the intermediate level through Minimum viable product, Pricing & unit economics and Fundraising basics. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Minimum viable product · Patterns and trade-offs in Pricing & unit economics · Scaling Fundraising basics

  • Minimum viable product: The module examines Minimum viable product closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.
  • Hands-on: minimum viable product: Here Minimum viable product becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.
  • Checking your understanding of minimum viable product: The module examines Minimum viable product closely, including the assumptions beneath it and what changes when those assumptions stop holding.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Minimum viable product drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Entrepreneurship

Work at the edge of Entrepreneurship through Go-to-market strategy, Team & operations and Scaling & exit paths. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Go-to-market strategy · Leading practice in Team & operations · Mastering Scaling & exit paths

  • Go-to-market strategy: Go-to-market strategy is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.
  • Hands-on: go-to-market strategy: This module asks you to critique and extend Go-to-market strategy rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.
  • Checking your understanding of go-to-market strategy: Go-to-market strategy is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Go-to-market strategy — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.

Explaining Entrepreneurship to someone else in plain language is the clearest signal that the Expert level has landed.

Once you have finished, the Entrepreneurship path is a reasonable foundation for management, consulting, finance and operations roles. Because the curriculum is generated and kept as a structured outline rather than fixed videos, you can revisit any module, regenerate the outline at a different depth, or save it to your library and work through it over weeks rather than in one sitting.
