In equity financing, the entrepreneur raises money by selling shares in the business to investors, thereby making them partners. Investors earn their returns when the company is sold or through another liquidity event, so their incentives are largely aligned with the entrepreneur’s – they both want the business to succeed.
In this program you will learn the step-by-step process of raising equity from a venture capital firm and how to build a successful relationship with your VC.
