Abstract

This course will explore the various ways a business can raise funds for an entrepreneurial venture. The funding sources discussed will be diverse ranging from angel investors to venture capitalists to non-profits to debt financing. The course will identify how these funding sources differ, what the risks and rewards are, and how the nature of the venture affects the funding source. Though quantitative concepts such as forecasting and valuations will be discussed, the class will mainly emphasize the qualitative issues to consider when raising funds.
