Early-stage businesses need capital and investment to allow them to initiate sales and grow. Venture capital, a form of private equity, is a form of financing that investors provide to such businesses that they believe to have long-term potential.

The session begins with an overview of the market before exploring how a Venture Capital fund works and how this impacts the structure of the investments made.

To understand the investment opportunity different forecasting and valuation methods are explored before the different funding rounds are modelled. The session concludes with the preparation of capitalization tables and investor returns.
