Financial implications of different business models and characteristics of various industries will be discussed. Major topics covered will include 1) forecasting (generating pro-forma financial statements), 2) financial analysis (liquidity, profitability, break-even, and feasibility analyses), 3) sources of funding (bootstrapping, family & friends, crowdfunding, angel investors, venture capital funds, and loans) and 4) basics of valuation.
