Goal of study
Entrepreneurial Finance is primarily designed for students who plan to get involved with a new venture at some point in their career -- as a founder, early employee, advisor or investor. However, the course is also appropriate for students interested in gaining a broader view of the financing landscape for young firms, going beyond the basics of venture capital and angel financing to look at venture debt, bank finance, corporate venture capital and receivables financing.
Tasks of study
Students are encouraged to consult with each other when attempting the problem set questions and try to solve exercises before the classes. In order to develop a deep understanding of the different business plan topics covered in the course, students are asked to complement the lecture notes with the related chapters of the materials.
