This is actually pretty useless. None of the courses seem to have video or transcrupts - only "notes" are present. Think powerpoint. How much can you learn about finance from powerpoint? Some courses actually even lack half of the notes.

This MIT courseware thingie might be a good idea, but implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

If anyone knows a good source on entreprenial finance please chime in.

Read the textbooks. You don't even have to leave your computer, I think the entire Wiley Finance collection is also available in ebook form.

Start out learning the basics of accounting, then move onto financial topics. That's how I did it.

I will gladly make suggestions if necessary.

Which text books? I don't think there are texbooks for the courses I looked at. For example, http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Sloan-School-of-Management/15-431E...

Or did I miss it?

This is awesome, I'm really enjoying the recent wave of great schools posting their full class lectures and materials online and specifically iTunes U.
