1. Expertise & Editorial Responsibility

VidiPreneur’s curriculum and educational approach are developed by Dr. Andreas A. Bastian and Dr. Maria Bastian, drawing on his experience in biotech leadership, pharmaceutical project management and venture development.

 

The published course materials are reviewed by Dr. Andreas A. Bastian and an external subject-matter expert before publication. Dr. Andreas A. Bastian provides final approval and retains editorial responsibility.

 

2. How we use AI

Content Production

AI tools support parts of the writing, visual creation and video production process. Course videos use AI-generated presenters and synthetic voices. These presenters deliver prepared educational material; they are not independent instructors or sources of expertise.

 

Published course materials undergo human review and approval. AI-supported production does not replace editorial responsibility.

 

Lara — AI learning assistant (AI Tutor)

Lara is an AI learning assistant available within the course. Participants can ask questions about course concepts, request explanations and explore unfamiliar terminology.

 

Unlike the published course materials, Lara’s responses are generated automatically during each conversation and are not individually reviewed or approved before being displayed. Responses may be inaccurate, incomplete or inconsistent with the course materials.

 

Lara supports learning and reflection. It does not replace professional advice, human mentoring or an independent assessment of your project. Verify important information before relying on it.

 

Conversation visibility

Conversations with Lara are visible to the programme owner and may be reviewed to identify unclear explanations and improve the programme.

 

Please do not enter patient data, confidential research results, unpublished inventions or unnecessary personal information. See our Privacy Policy for details about personal-data processing.

 

Feedback

If you notice an incorrect or misleading response, please contact info@vidipreneur.com and identify the relevant course topic and response, without including sensitive information.

3. Examples & Learning Materials

​Examples, worksheets and valuation exercises are designed to help learners apply concepts to their own projects. Illustrative scenarios and assumptions should not be treated as verified facts about a particular venture or as predictions of future results.

 

4. Sponsorship & Editorial Independence

How Sponsorship Supports the Academy

Sponsorship and advertising help support free access to VidiPreneur’s standard courses and the development of learning resources. We also provide customised programmes for institutions under separate agreements.

 

Clear Identification

Advertisements, sponsor profiles and sponsored contributions are clearly labelled. Where a sponsor funds a particular resource or activity, we identify that support alongside it.

​

Editorial Responsibility

As stated above, Dr. Andreas A. Bastian, through MERKBAST Consulting, reviews and approves published course materials before publication and retains editorial responsibility.

 

Sponsors do not control the standard curriculum, its conclusions or quiz answers.

Sponsorship does not guarantee favourable coverage or inclusion in educational examples.

​

No Product Certification or Endorsement

Sponsorship does not constitute certification, independent verification or endorsement of a sponsor’s products, services, investment offers or claims.

 

Participants should assess external offers independently.

​

Conflicts of Interest

We disclose financial or professional relationships that could reasonably affect how participants interpret educational content. We distinguish promotional claims from educational analysis and supporting evidence.

 

Where a conflict cannot be adequately managed through disclosure and editorial safeguards, we decline or remove the affected contribution.

 

Commissioned Institutional Content

Our standard curriculum is developed independently. Universities, incubators, accelerators and other institutions may commission adaptations to learning paths, examples, exercises or delivery formats.

 

Such adaptations are identified as institution-specific where relevant.

​

Commissioning organisations may contribute requirements and materials, while VidiPreneur retains responsibility for reviewing and approving the educational content it publishes.

​

5. Feedback & Corrections

​We welcome feedback and corrections to help keep the learning clear, accurate and useful.

​

If you identify an error or an explanation that needs clarification, please contact info@vidipreneur.com, ideally including the course, lesson and relevant timestamp or passage.
