Overview
The programme
Start-ups can benefit from a wide variety of financing options on the path to profitability, but how do you know which one to choose?
This Entrepreneurship 4 - Financing and Profitability offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Pennsylvania explores different financing models, including bootstrapping, organic growth, debt and risk capital, and also provides a clear overview of equity financing including the key types of investors: angels, venture capital, and crowdfunding. You’ll learn about terms, and term sheets, exit modes and what exit strategy might be best for you.
By the end of this course, you’ll have an understanding of what success looks like and how it can be financed. You’ll also be ready for the capstone project, in which you will get feedback on your own pitch deck, and may even be selected to pitch to investors from venture capital firms.
