Entrepreneurial Finance

3 credits

This course analyzes how entrepreneurs and their financial backers can spot, create and manage value. Start-up and early-stage ventures have particular financial challenges associated with the uncertain and unproven nature of the project. Topics include sources of capital, cash flow forecasting, sensitivity analysis, valuation methodologies, financial contracts and careful negotiations, and different strategies for growing or exiting a venture. *** Prerequisite: BUS 288 (or ADMN 288) and BUS 290 (or ADMN 290)***
