I think there's probably room for a great one day course (interactive, examples, etc.) to show tech people starting businesses the important points of law, finance, management, etc. Positive and negative examples (so people internalize the need), followed by principles, followed by clear guidelines, and some sample policies.
It's way more effective for me as a learner to understand "why" first, then the specifics of how -- most accounting, law, etc for non-experts is presented as hard/fast rules on what to do, with no real motivation.
- kfk 11y agoI think you should make it at least 1 day per topic. I can surely give you a great introduction to business finance in one day. Even though some sort of support mechanism is needed so that you retain the material learned (say email support for 3 months or similar). On another note, reading few VCs blog and how many of them try to teach basics of financial statements in their blogs, this seems to be enough of a problem that they would be very happy with founders taking a good course in finance.
