Fall. 1.5 credits.

D. BenDaniel.

Consists of a series of cases that focus on the venture-capital investment process and the subsequent management of such ventures. The primary perspective is that of the venture capitalist in assembling and evaluating information, preparing forecasts, assessing risks, developing and negotiating investment structure and terms, and deciding whether to invest. Cases also focus on management and financial problems and on policy issues and the relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. The secondary perspective is that of the entrepreneur and the techniques and skills employed in managing growing enterprises. Presentations by venture capitalists and entrepreneurs supplement student discussion and analysis of cases. Grades are based on written reports, quality of classroom participation, and a final exam.
