"Thanks for all the care and consideration for a very well run course. I greatly appreciated Keith's advice on managing finance as an entrepreneur that was quite obviously based on his own hard won experiences. I wanted to take away an understanding of finance that would better enable me to help entrepreneurs as a mentor and I certainly got that - I would recommend this to any of the other mentors as a valuable investment of time."

"As
a final year PhD student thinking of exploiting my research work, I was
looking for a course that gave me decent exposure to exploitation
opportunities and how things work in commercial settings. The
Entrepreneurial Finance course at UCL Advances is an excellent starting
point, as it taught me some fundamental concepts relating to accounting
practices (NPV, cash flow, P&L, balance sheet, etc),
risk management, company valuations and exit strategies, etc, in a
limited time interval. The knowledge gained is extremely helpful and
applicable for various diverse requirements such as writing a business
plan, raising finance or measuring financial health
of a company. The course covered topics specific to start-ups which is
generally not covered or mentioned in passing. The tutor is undoubtedly
one of the best in the field who explained the principles with numerous
real-life examples and case studies which
made the course highly interactive. Without this approach, the course
would have otherwise been dry and abstract. Entrepreneurial Finance is
one of the best courses I have attended and would definitely recommend
it to everyone."
