What this paper is about
Edit What this paper is about Content
Entrepreneurial ventures require capital to support business models, grow market share and create shareholder value. This paper explores the core considerations in addressing the financing needs and challenges to support the launch and growth of new ventures. This paper uses two approaches to investigate the issues associated with entrepreneurial finance. First, the paper analyses principles of corporate finance, valuation, coordination and control of firms, government policies, and concepts of entrepreneurial financial management. Second, the paper uses cases on firms at different stages of their life cycle to explain how these tools and concepts are applied in practice.

Edit How this paper will be taught Content
This paper aims to use a combination of lectures and case studies to understand entrepreneurial finance. There are five main areas of focus: business valuation; financing; venture capital funds; employment; and exit strategies. This paper is applied in nature and aims to provide practical insights to students. Students should expect to work on a number of case studies. Each case will come with guideline questions. Students will examine the case dynamics and decisions from the viewpoint of both the entrepreneur and that of the investors to understand their motivations, objectives, and considerations. The paper assumes active student participation in the classes. Group discussions, thinking and reasoning are essential to achieve the objectives of the paper.
