I recently attended Mini MBA, an entrepreneurial class taught by Paul Singh and Naeem Zafar, and despite having started multiple successful companies and raised millions for ventures like Palmchip, eSilicon, Netvinci, and Moobila, I still learned a great deal. Their insights on preparing my new startup, TribeUp—a real social network—for investors were invaluable. Paul and Naeem’s combined wisdom and practical advice on marketing, sales, and financial 3 Ninja tricks make this class essential for both first-time CEOs and seasoned entrepreneurs. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to sharpen their investor-readiness skills and take their startup to the next level

Provided a real structure for how to kickstart a startup, with personal attention and the enormous experience of the instructors – If you are a first-time founder, with primarily an engineering background, consider this a “required” course to increase chances for a startup to be successful.
