Webcast: Dealing with Venture Capitalists

The more you know and understand how venture capitalists and angel investors think, the more effective you can be as a trusted adviser to clients exploring funding options for new companies. This program will give you valuable, current insight into what venture capitalists and angel investors do, how they view potential investments, what kinds of deals they want and how they ultimately exit as an investor. While the investment landscape has changed since the boom years of the late 90s, a solid company or product can still attract funding.  In this course, you'll review the current investment environment and learn where to source the capital your client needs, from crowd funding to latter stage mezzanine financing.

Additionally, you'll explore how to expand your scope of service by lending your financial expertise to investment firms that need assistance with their due diligence projects.

Gain an understanding the management, marketing, manufacturing and money viewpoints of private equity investors. If a start-up business is considering using outside funding to support an expansion, it should understand the related risks and rewards. This course helps you advise decision makers about venture capitalists and angel investors, take advantage of financing sources, prepare the necessary financial statements and avoid common pitfalls.
