This subject seeks to familiarize students with the diversity of capital forms and
seed funding available to entrepreneurs - a crucial feature of business project outcomes
and deliverability to stakeholders. Students will learn to analyse long-term and short-term
risks of engaging with venture capital as well as the management of ambiguity. They
will also gain insights into network relationships with these highly salient and expanding
forms of funding though case study analysis of venture 'incubators,' 'angel funds'
etc. As this module contains a significant entrepreneurial practicum component, students
will be expected to assemble a proposal and presentation of a real or hypothetical
entrepreneurial project.
