Content
This course provides an overview of the entrepreneurial finance process. It covers a wide range of topics associated with a venture’s financial strategy: financial planning, sources of capital, exit strategies, financial contracting, and valuation. It focuses on integrating and extending one’s basic knowledge of finance principles with the complexities that entrepreneurship, business strategy, and marketing add to the context of new ventures. The fundamental premise of the course is that financial strategy formulation and implementation is a crucial part of the venture development process. As such, the course is suitable for those who plan to engage in new venture development both as an independent effort and within a corporate or family business context. I expect that students taking this course will have an understanding of some of the basic finance such as financial statement preparation and discounted cash flow analysis.
