15.431 Entrepreneurial Finance

There is an amazing course for people seeking to work in the private equity, venture capital industry and entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurial Finance is an open course that focus on the finance of start-up ventures.

It addresses some of the important questions such as:

- how much money can and should be raised
- when should it be raised and from whom
- what is a reasonable valuation of the company
- how funding should be structured.

I am self-studying this course and it is great to read case studies that make me aware of the issues that I will be facing in the VC/PE industry.
