Learner Reviews & Feedback for Beyond Silicon Valley: Growing Entrepreneurship in Transitioning Economies by Case Western Reserve University
About the Course
Most markets around the world do not look like Silicon Valley, and they never will. But there are other models to support new businesses. In
transitioning markets (where entrepreneurs do not have much access to private sector financing), government officials, donors, and business
leaders are experimenting with creative approaches to support the growth of entrepreneurs. Northeast Ohio, whose largest city is Cleveland, is

Interesting course on how the startup ecosystem was build in Cleveland, Ohio. Especially interesting was to tell and read about how the startup ecosystem in the Netherlands and the countries of the fellow students look like. I would recommend this course when you're interested in how startup ecosystems work (and why sometimes they don't work)

This is not the entrepreneurship primer I was hoping for, but it did a tremendous job of educating me on the different ways in which public and private partnerships can potentially spur the growth of entrepreneurship in a region if utilized effectively.

Good course for people involved in the design of public policies. This course is perfect to politics and CEOs, people with the money to invest or the ability to organice big group of people and educate them to invest.

I am really happy I didn't pay for this course. While some of the readings were interesting, I found that the videos were so redundant and hard to follow. Also, half of the links for reading assignments do not work or require a subscription (i.e. The Economist). Why don't you post PDFs like most other classes require? This course is not worthy of money.

The course touches the topic very lightly. There are transitioning economies around the globe in dire need of start ups and the overall entrepreneurship spirit of Silicon Valley. I wish the course had provided deeper knowledge on this particular subject, specially focused on The Americas.

A plenty of resources, but feels shallow in a way it focuses on Cleveland, Ohio too much.
