Course Overview

Growth built on poorly controlled venture capital and private financing reverses faster than it accumulated. The audit trail behind private financing matters as much as the decision itself. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this strand of financial and banking practice and the judgement to adapt it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in venture capital and private financing rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of financial and banking practice and revise it on evidence. Comparative studies of private financing across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting venture capital and private financing and under-invest in testing it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for private financing, not for observers of it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within financial and banking practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
