The instructors were pretty cool and knew their stuff, and the course materials were decent. I liked that we got to work on some real-world projects, which helped me understand how to apply the concepts to actual startups. One thing that really stuck with me was the importance of understanding the relationship between financial statements and forecasting. It's not just about crunching numbers, but also about telling a story with the data. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about financial forecasting, but maybe not to those who are already super experienced in the field.
