Session 1, Part 2: Refining and Presenting Your Venture Idea 

Thank you MIT for sharing this free, you can’t imagine that you’re helping a lot of people who cannot afford to go to school like me, I’m in the 50’s , how I wish I found this when I was younger

So simple to understand yet priceless information! Thank you for sharing this!

I scrape this perfect lecture into my YT to train myself to have a magic tongue and learned his lessons like this modest Guest Prof who had been thru the real battlefield with numerous experienced scars on his back......................................Act like a liquid and transform ourselves into the reciprocal level...........learned from this lecture........................................STF............................................

Thank you MIT

Excellent content and for free? This is how you change the world, MIT.

Stephen Pearse, I found this vid instructive and helpful. Let me ask you, are you an angel investor? What legacy do you want to leave to the society that has been so generous to you? How do you want to be remembered? How can I, a humble, lowly, grizzled orphan who comes from the left side of want get in touch with you?

He's a mix of Harvey Dent and Saul Goodman, love it!

Unfortunately, I'm a bit late to learn these things (27 years old), but it's better than doing nothing.

thank you so much for sharing! i appreciate it so much!

HAHAHA...for the pitch part, yes sometimes play dumb or ignorant definitely good for us to get something new that I never know. I agree with this Prof. And this lecture sounds like business psychology for yourself and the opponent. Very useful sales 101 lesson in real life.....STF...........

Great lectures

What a great presenter! I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you MIT!

The best lecture ever. easy to understand, and engaging, and I wish to hear more details for the last 5 minutes information of the video.

Outstanding!!!

Wow, this is so spicy beefy Prof as a real entrepreneur veteran and teach us the reality of capital world.......STF:).....

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. That said, turning airports into Norh Korea is a totally unacceptable and disgusting violation of peoples dignity. You will never receive a share of my business.

This is gold, well presented. Thank you!

superficial and basic information

Ah yes. The good old greed is good strategy. Glad to see a school like Wharton still teaching these practices to their students.

He got that "greed is good" vibe😂

16:00

real life Gordon Gekko. i love it

investors look for 100x? thats wild

Living the lesson. He is so good that he does not even need the slides.

Rule #1: Never turn your back on your audience

thanks

Great video. Great series. Great speaker. But I have to disagree that the only reason someone would buy something, that is on sale, is because of greed. Not true at all. Sale items are also often bought by people who can’t afford regularly priced items.The people I would refer to as the victims of the greed that is being promoted and defended in this video. Still a good and useful lecture though.

Harvey Dent!!

28:00 hahaha ;)

49:11 - CIMITYM - Cash is more important than your mother. - What does the F stand for on the slide?

He's a white Ben Carson... Eerie

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Not sure his advice will work for scaling a profit loss sharing model...in working with the poor. Part of the reason that the world has grabbed onto microfinance is because there is an element of greed. It is a 400 billion market. And over seas volunteers, what I like to call "poverty tourism," is a 200 billion market annually, which comes from about 1.6 million volunteers. But I want to get away from this kind of private interest mentality that does not address the systemic problems of global poverty. Does this hard nosed venture capital perspective really work when we are talking about how to engage those at the bottom of the pyramid in a way that goes beyond a transactional approach?

Wow great lectures, love it, Thanks MIT

Hahaha..If I were this Prof, I will entertain myself rather to these mute who paying full attentions punks in the class. Who cares. As long as they pay their ears on the class and listening. That's all SALT OF THE SEA i CAN GIVE THE BEST ..................Hahaha............................STF....................................
