Entrepreneurial Finance MIBA-464 3 Credit Hours
The goal of course is to help managers make better investment and financing decisions in entrepreneurial settings. The course covers all stages of the venture's life cycle from startup to exit, and delves into issues such as deal structures, incentives, business models and valuation in great detail. The course will address key issues faced by entrepreneurs: how much money should be raised at each stage; when should it be raised; what is a reasonable valuation of the company; and how should funding, employment contracts and exit decisions be structured. The aim is to prepare students for these decisions, both as entrepreneurs and as investors.
