BUAD 411 Entrepreneurial Investment

: This course examines the elements of entrepreneurial finance, focusing on technology-based start-up ventures and the early stages of company development. This course addresses key questions which challenge all entrepreneurs: how much money can and should be raised; when it should be raised and from whom; what is a reasonable valuation of a company; and how funding, employment contracts, and exit decisions should be structured. This course aims to prepare the student for these decisions, both as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist.
