Venture Cap Impact Investing

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate

The Venture Capital (VC) and Impact Investing (II) in Emerging Markets module focuses on the intersection of venture capital and impact investing, primarily exploring cases in financial inclusion, as the financial services sector has had both early stage commercial VC support and multiple exits. This emphasis on financial inclusion will highlight the power of investing to drive value creation, economic growth, and social and financial returns. Students will have the opportunity to explore how investors source and evaluate investments, structure deals, manage and grow a portfolio, drive towards exits, and manage challenges that arise through this process. With a skills building and application orientation, students will work with existing cases and experience investment proposal preparation and presentation.
