Startup Investments Ventures

1 Credit · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Students will learn about startup funding stages, the venture capital industry, frameworks for evaluating investment opportunities and negotiating deals, and how to manage a venture portfolio. The class consists of a core learning component (readings and live classroom sessions), experiential/immersion where students have project based venture capital deliverables, and a capstone project. Students will also be exposed to engaging online guest lectures with leading industry executives, and peer-to-peer learning and exploration of practical case studies. The core objective of the class is to offer the ability for students to apply classroom learnings to real venture deals and experience what it takes to work in venture capital.
