Description:

4.00 credits EPS3540 Raising Money-VC, Angels & Incubators (General Credit) This class concentrates on developing a knowledge of the asset classes in early stage funding, both equity and debt, including money from family and friends, angels- both individual and networks- early and mid stage VC, private equity, incubators- both for profit and not for profit- and debt from venture debt funds and special commercial banks. Much of the class is taught from the entrepreneur's perspective but it will also cover the dynamics of starting and running a VC fund since many of the investor classes rely heavily on the VC when making investment decisions. Case material, lectures, frequent exercises/presentations and guest speakers will provide future entrepreneurs with a detailed understanding how investors think, analyze and behave so that entrepreneurs can understand the deals they make with investors and how to manage the process to a mutually beneficial conclusion.
