Is there any Machine learning course you specifically recommend taking in order to come up to speed with the AI technology and also if you could share some tips on becoming a first time founder especially getting the funding from a silicon valley VC as in what do they really look for when investing in a startup started by someone with no prior startup experience then that would be really great!
