FIN-350 Venture Capital and Private Equity
Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) have become dominant in financing and managing start-ups and established companies. Their influences have grown over the years as alternatives to traditional public debt and equity markets. Students will learn how VC and PE entities are formed, their functions, how they select companies to fund or acquire, and how they value these companies. Using case studies, simulations, and guest lectures of industry veterans, the course will allow students to scrutinize real-life deals, study the financial, economic, and legal challenges, and learn the best practices.
