High-Tech Growth Management : Module III : Financing growth & creating shareholdervalue


Programme
Prof. Dr. Benoît Leleux, S.Schmidheiny Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance, IMD.

Accelerated growth, in a start-up or developing company, poses specific challenges with respect to the company's finances. A limited set of economic actors have developed the skills and tools to operate in that 'constrained' environment. The seminar will focus on the financial problems faced by high-growth companies in general (start-ups, new ventures, buy-outs), addressing the topic from both the capital seeker's and the investor's point of view. Issues to be addressed include sources of financing that are available and appropriate for a particular business, what are key elements of a deal structure, the rationale for the various parties involved and a current overview of the market situation in the private equity / venture capital worlds
