Investment Banking and Finance: Venture Capital Fundraising
Most founders fail at fundraising not because their idea is bad, but because they don't understand how investors think. VCs see thousands of pitches—and most get rejected in the first 30 seconds. This course teaches you to be in the small percentage that gets funded.
In over 15 hours across 198 video lectures, you'll master the complete venture capital fundraising process—from determining if VC is right for your business to negotiating term sheets and closing your round. Taught by an investment banker with 30+ years of experience and an MBA with Distinction, this course gives you the insider perspective that founders rarely get until it's too late.
What You'll Master:
Is VC Right For You? Not every business should raise venture capital—learn how to assess if your startup is a fit before wasting months chasing the wrong investors
Types of Investors: Understand the differences between angels, seed funds, Series A VCs, and growth equity—and what each is looking for
