LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingFifteen credits of methods for founders who research customers across timezones—not an MBA and not a VC intro.
Online only
Founders collect anecdotes and call them research. This certificate makes the difference visible: sampling across meridians so your only users are not in your afternoon, interview ethics when the ‘customer’ is in a support queue in Spanish, and notes that would survive an identity-checked methods exam. GlobalMind University will not introduce you to venture capital and will not stamp a UN SDG logo on your startup. You will leave with a practice of evidence that a distributed university also uses: timezone-fair contact, honest language of assessment, and no fake fieldwork on a campus you do not have. Nine months. Four modules. Fifteen credits. The assessed methods pack must show sampling that is not only the founder’s afternoon users, consent for WhatsApp and ticket traces, and limitations stated as skill rather than as apology. Spanish, Portuguese, or Hindi recruitment is allowed; ghostwritten analysis is not. Identity-checked habits apply to founders the same way they apply to master’s students. GlobalMind University will not stage a demo day, will not introduce investors, and will not let SDG artwork stand in for evidence. Nine months is short on purpose: methods, not a miniature MBA.
Fifteen credits: asking, sampling across zones, analysing messy digital traces, and a methods capstone pack.
