20 Questions To Help You Start a Business

Coursera · Beginner ·🚀 Entrepreneurship & Startups ·1h ago
Starting a business is one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do, and one of the easiest places to make expensive mistakes. This course gives you a clear, founder-tested path from idea to launch, without the jargon or the fluff. You'll develop a compelling answer to the "why" behind your business, set balanced personal and business goals, and craft a unique selling proposition that actually differentiates you. You'll learn how to identify your full customer spectrum, spot the three kinds of competitors you'll face, and build the marketing, networking, and go-to-market plans that bring in your first hundred customers. You'll get the tools to pivot when markets shift, protect your intellectual property, pick the right legal structure, pitch investors, raise the right kind of money, and land on a company name that sticks. By the end, you'll have the skills and confidence to launch, and a playbook you'll return to as your business grows.
