Description
[[ Unofficial Course ]]
This comprehensive course delivers a complete, real-world understanding of venture capital, guiding learners through every stage of the ecosystem—from foundational principles to advanced deal structuring and exit strategies. Designed to mirror how venture capital actually operates in practice, the program explains not only what venture capital is, but how it functions as a critical engine of innovation, economic growth, and startup scaling worldwide. Learners begin by building a strong conceptual foundation, understanding the roles of limited partners, general partners, and portfolio companies, and how capital flows through the system. They will explore how venture capital differs from private equity and angel investing, how funds are structured and managed, and why risk and return in venture investing follow a power-law distribution that shapes portfolio strategy.
As the course progresses, participants gain a deep understanding of fund economics, including management fees, operating costs, carried interest, and distribution waterfalls. Complex concepts such as capital calls, fund performance curves, and industry-standard metrics like TVPI, DPI, and IRR are explained in practical terms so learners can confidently interpret real fund performance data. The curriculum then moves into the investment process itself, revealing how venture firms source deals, evaluate opportunities, and make investment decisions.
Students learn how startups are financed across stages—from pre-seed to later rounds—how screening works, how investment theses guide decisions, and what goes into a professional investment committee memo. The course also demonstrates how venture investors actively support portfolio companies after investing, adding value through strategy, hiring, partnerships, and governance.
A major focus is placed on valuation and due diligence, equipping learners with frameworks used by real investors to assess teams, markets, products, business models, and financial projections. Participants will learn how early-stage companies are valued, how pre-money and post-money valuations work, and how dilution, option pools, and ownership structures affect both founders and investors. The program also introduces widely used valuation methodologies and teaches how to interpret startup metrics and unit economics with analytical rigor.
In the final part of the course, learners master deal structuring and exit planning—the areas where investment outcomes are ultimately determined. They will study the key economic and control terms found in term sheets, including board rights, voting provisions, liquidation preferences, participation rights, and anti-dilution protections. The course concludes by examining exit pathways such as acquisitions, public offerings, and secondary sales, helping learners understand how venture investments generate returns and how timing, structure, and negotiation influence final outcomes.
By the end of this program, participants will not only understand venture capital theory but will also be able to think like a venture capitalist, analyze startup opportunities, interpret investment terms, evaluate fund performance, and understand how deals are structured from both investor and founder perspectives.
This course is ideal for aspiring venture capital professionals, startup founders, finance students, analysts, and anyone seeking a practical, industry-level understanding of how venture investing works in the real world.
