00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,913
Building a business is hard.

2
00:00:01,913 --> 00:00:05,148
As an entrepreneur, not only
do you need a solid product,

3
00:00:05,148 --> 00:00:08,999
but you need to secure investment,
find co-founders, hire employees

4
00:00:08,999 --> 00:00:12,439
and complete countless of other tasks
in pursuit of your goals.

5
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,290
But being an entrepreneur comes
with a ton of responsibilities,

6
00:00:15,290 --> 00:00:17,287
like the freedom to be your own boss

7
00:00:17,287 --> 00:00:20,270
and the chance to make a
lasting impact on the world.

8
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:24,043
Throughout this course, you're going
to get expert advice from Googlers,

9
00:00:24,043 --> 00:00:27,622
from co-founders of companies,
like CrunchBase and UpWest Labs,

10
00:00:27,622 --> 00:00:30,313
from investors of accelerators,
like NFX Guild

11
00:00:30,313 --> 00:00:33,103
and from other Silicon Valley
business experts.

12
00:00:33,103 --> 00:00:36,124
All this expertise comes together
in this course to help you to find

13
00:00:36,124 --> 00:00:39,155
your business goals, 
build your team around your product

14
00:00:39,155 --> 00:00:41,465
and get financing to help
grow your startup.

15
00:00:41,465 --> 00:00:44,447
By the end of this course, you can
have the confidence in your product

16
00:00:44,447 --> 00:00:45,617
and your business.

17
00:00:45,617 --> 00:00:48,480
From there, you'll be in great shape
for the build-up product out,

18
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,741
raise seed round, fly to an accelerator,
or just bootstrap your way to success.
