A venture capitalist (VC) is a private equity investor that provides capital to companies exhibiting high growth potential in exchange for an equity stake. This could be funding startup ventures or supporting small companies that wish to expand but do not have access to equities markets.
The program is taught in a highly experiential manner. Participants learn the frameworks to drive investment decisions and then apply them to case examples. Learnings will be applied to real-world startups that are currently fundraising. Participants assess each company as if they were considering investing.
Over the course of five days, the program provides an invaluable deep dive into both forms of startup financing — venture capital and angel investing — equipping current and aspiring startup investors with a process for evaluating and monitoring potential opportunities and the knowledge they need to lower risk and increase returns. Participants go through the deal-flow process step by step to understand how to invest in startups.
