Venture capital has financed many of the world's most successful corporations including Apple, Amazon, Intel and Starbucks. The very best VC funds consistently out-perform, though the average returns for the industry have been less than stellar, particularly in Europe. Finance for early-stage fast-growth technology companies in Europe is now provided by a handful of players as many firms move to the less risky later-stage and growth deals.

This one-day course, which is commercially focussed and designed for professional advisors who want a comprehensive insight into this distinctive sector of the private equity industry, offers a practical, case-study approach to venture capital investing. The entire venture capital investment process is covered, from the evaluation of a business proposition, through the negotiation and structuring of the deal, to monitoring the investment and exiting.

This course will cover the following:

  • Global trends in the venture capital industry
  • Current issues in venture capital
  • The venture capital investment process
  • Business plans and initial enquiries
  • Valuation and deal structuring
  • Term sheets - negotiation
  • Due diligence
