Mark is awesome and truly wants the best for his students - his class will change the way you think about startups and VC. He makes sure everyone is set up for success and all the projects are relevant to what real life VCs are doing.FINA4610 2022-04-26 12:24:02 +0000 UTC
Wow! I have never left a class more inspired by a prof. Even if you leave this class without learning any content, you can take away so much from his character and values. Brings incredible guest speakers, fairly graded exams/hws. Offers external real world opportunities to all his students. I cannot recommend him enough, what an incredible prof.FINA4610 2020-12-22 14:05:25 +0000 UTC
I highly recommend taking a class with Professor Bernfeld! He is truly one of the best Professors I have had at Northeastern; he really cares for each of his students and wants them all to succeed. Class material is challenging, but he tries to make it as unintimidating as possible and is always willing to help outside class. Lots of guest speakersFINA4610 2020-12-09 16:14:00 +0000 UTC
Very interesting class and Professor. He makes you want to pay attention and learn unlike any other professor. He is more like a mentor and is always there for his students . Caring professor with mild curves to help the students. TAKE HIM AND YOU WILL LEARN THINGS YOU WONT LEAR WITH ANYONE ELSEFINA4610 2017-08-02 20:00:16 +0000 UTC
Best professor at Northeastern. If interested at all in the VC/Startup world take this class. Actively encourages students to keep in contact with him and is extremely fair in grading.FINA4610 2017-06-28 13:44:20 +0000 UTC
