Introduction
The global start-up scene is booming, with more new start-ups raising large amounts of venture capital and disrupting existing business models. How do you finance new ventures? Start-ups and young companies need a lot of money but don't have easy access to traditional financing like established firms. Investing in these new ventures involves high uncertainty and information gaps between investors and entrepreneurs, which can lead to conflicts. It's crucial for entrepreneurs to understand the best ways to finance their ventures at different stages. They need to learn how to value their new business and organise funding as it grows.This course is part of:
