Recently, I have decided to join ThePowerMBA program. Since quite some people have asked me why I chose to attend the course, here is my answer.

ThePowerMBA in a Nutshell

ThePowerMBA program is a roughly one-year long online course that gives a broad overview over a variety of topics:

• Business model innovation
• Testing business ideas & lean startup
• Business and marketing strategies
• Leadership
• Entrepreneurship & fundraising
• Digital marketing
• Finance & accounting
• HR & talent management

The topics are taught in so-called microlearnings which are basically videos of ~15 minutes length every day. Some of the videos are in a more educational format, which means that ThePowerMBA staff walks through and explains the theory behind a concept. After the theory there are always interviews with entrepreneurs from big startups that have actually implemented them and walk you through how they did it and what was important to them. So hands-on experience with the theory from people of have walked the walk first hand.
