The Financing Technology Ventures module is geared towards students interested in working within some aspects of the venture capital industry -whether directly as a venture capitalist, as a fund of funds investor, a corporate investor or as an entrepreneur or corporate manager who is financed by venture capital.

The course provides a deep understanding of the venture financing cycle, starting with the sources of capital available, a deep dive through the due diligence process, an understanding of the valuation methods for early stage technology companies and finishing with an in-depth analysis of the economics of the deal.

The module covers both economic as well as strategic topics. On the economic side, the module covers topics such as the economics of the venture capital firm and the economics of the investment. On the strategic side, development of investment thesis, negotiations and board dynamics are widely discussed during the module. For participants that want to start a company and raise money from venture capitalists, this module provides the tools to successfully attract and negotiate the terms of an external funding round.

The module will aim to cover the differences of entrepreneurial practices and venture capital investments in Europe, US and China.
