FINANCE 356 - Entrepreneurial Finance

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Finance

Description:

The course is designed to introduce to the challenge and pitfalls of financing new enterprises. Broadly speaking, entrepreneurial financing decisions have a life cycle. The cycle begins with identifying opportunities, moves to marshaling resources to take advantage of these opportunities and executing the business plan, and ends with harvesting the venture's success. Accordingly, the course has three sections: Identifying and Valuing Opportunities, Structuring Deals, and Harvesting Opportunities. This course complements FINANCE 457, Venture Capital and Private Equity. Students would benefit from being exposed to the material in both courses. Entrepreneurial Finance focuses on the perspective of the entrepreneur, while VCPE focuses on that of the venture capitalist. Instructor: Staff
