Entrepreneurial Finance
Navigate the realities of securing funding for your venture as you follow a business’s evolution from start-up to exit strategy.
Technological advances, changing attitudes, and a thriving investment landscape are creating the ideal environment for entrepreneurial ventures, yet two out of three start-ups don’t succeed. The inability to raise new capital is one of the tops cited reasons for start-up failure. To succeed against the odds, entrepreneurs require both an understanding of different investor types and insight into the mechanics of valuation, negotiation, and scaling.
The Entrepreneurial Finance online certificate course is specifically designed to help you navigate the realities of funding your start-up enterprise. Over six weeks, you’ll gain a practical overview of the skills needed to secure venture capital. The course walks you through a business’s evolution from start-up all the way to exit strategy. Guided by expert faculty, you’ll enhance your ability to evaluate business opportunities using a framework that encapsulates people, opportunities, and context. As you progress through the course, you’ll discover how to develop a pitch deck for your real business idea and present it to a venture capital investor for feedback.
