| Course content and structure |

Course Description:
The act of entrepreneurship often involves a number of challenges
characterized
by risk and uncertainty and which needs considerations pertaining
to finance.
These financial challenges especially represent a hurdle for the
entrepreneur in
high-tech settings. Securing funding and establishing the financial
resources to
undertake an entrepreneurial venture is more often than not one of
the main
activities to undertake when establishing a new firm. Startup
investors are also
in need of assessing and understand the financial aspects of
potential investment
opportunities vis-à-vis nascent entrepreneurs or newly established
firms.
Furthermore, there are substantial managerial challenges pertaining
to finance
that need to be considered in entrepreneurial settings. This course
provides
insight in these aspects of the entrepreneurial process.
Course Contents:
This course offers tools and insights that help entrepreneurs or
their investors
navigate through these challenges. Specially, the course will aim
to provide
answers to questions like; how much money is needed for
establishing the
business; what type of investor is the optimal for the business;
when should this
money be raised; what is the value of the newly founded firm; and
how should
entrepreneurs think about exiting.

| Description of the teaching methods |
Teaching methods:
The pedagogical method is a combination of lectures, cases,
exercises and an
individual home work assignment. A satisfactory high outcome of the
exercises
requires an active participation with basis in the literature and
the lectures. The
homework assignment is an integrated part of the learning process
and not only
a part of the exam. |
