Inside Venture Capital: VC Workshop (Valuation)

06:00pm - 07:30pm
Online via Zoom

Have you ever thought of starting your own business and sought funding from venture capitalists or angel investors? Are you a co-founder of a start-up planning for fundraising?

 

You may have the following questions:

  • What is venture capital (VC), and how to seek their investment? 
  • How does VC evaluate start-ups for investments? 
  • How to develop a business plan that optimizes product-market fit?
  • How to build a financial model that demonstrates the financial potential?

 

Inside Venture Capital: VC Workshop, consisting of four 1.5-hour live webinars conducted over two weeks and companion on-line course materials, will provide the way to answer these questions.

 

In this course, participants will learn the key skills for getting VC investment:

  • Creating high-potential investment opportunities;
  • Using financial projections to arrive at a proper valuation for start-ups;
  • Developing an exit strategy that maximizes the value;
  • Negotiating good investment deals.

 

In addition, all participants will have access to a companion on-line course at Expara Academy (www.exparacademy.com) which includes video lectures, original articles, video presentations and slide decks of real start-up pitches, interactive assignments, and useful downloads.
