In this course, you will learn the basics of how to set up a new business. You will follow a budding entrepreneur, Veera, on her journey toward her own company. Veera will be guided by Aalto Ventures Program (AVP) teachers Lidia Rauramo and Håkan Mitts.

The course consists of 9 episodes. Each episode starts with Veera sharing her thoughts and questions about her entrepreneurial journey. In the rest of the session, you will be introduced to some new concepts and methods that help in setting up a new business.

After each video by Veera and at the end of each session, there are small quizzes that you must pass before you can move on. For those who are interested to learn more, there is an Additional material section at the end of each lesson that contains additional useful material and links.

A few practical instructions:

• The lessons must be taken in order; you cannot jump around.
• You need to watch the full video sessions; you cannot fast-forward. If you missed something, you can restart the video after it has been completed.
• You need to pass the quizzes before you can move on to the next lesson — you have only 2 tries per quiz, answer carefully!
• Note that some quizzes can have multiple correct answers!
• If you have any technical difficulties with the course, please be in touch with Aalto OpenLearning through openlearning@aalto.fi or the support-link in the footer of this page.

Instructions of answering the quizzes.

Quizzes consist of 2 or 4 questions. Answer all the questions and the "Submit" all questions together. After you have submitted the answers, you can review the outcome. If you did not get a passing grade (1/2 or 2/4), you can retake the quiz once. If you need to retake the quiz, make sure you carefully review the relevant material, don't rush of to try to "guess" the correct answers!

Happy studying!
