Hi all — the first lesson of Emerge Society, our free 12-lesson entrepreneurship course funded through Project Catalyst, is now live on the LMS.
Lesson 1 — The Entrepreneurial Mindset: Why Builders Win is a structured 60-minute hour: short produced videos, a curated open-source reading (OpenStax, CC BY-NC-SA), and a self-guided exercise where you write your “Founder Why.” It’s built for anyone in the community who wants to move from an idea to something they can launch on Cardano.
Feedback welcome — this is for the community, and we want it to be useful. More lessons rolling out.

Following Lesson 1, Lesson 2 — Spotting Opportunities: Problems Before Products is now live.
This 60-minute lesson moves from personal motivation to a practical opportunity-finding method: how to tell an idea from a real opportunity, the four sources opportunities come from, two generation techniques (problem journaling and trend mapping), and a three-question screen. It also uses the Catalyst funded-projects archive as a live opportunity map for the ecosystem — with the honest caveat that what got funded reflects what voters valued, not necessarily what the market needs.
