COURSE OVERVIEW
In today’s global economy, where innovation and entrepreneurship are driving unprecedented change, private equity and venture capital play pivotal roles in shaping the future of businesses. These domains are not only crucial for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios but also for entrepreneurs striving to bring their visions to life. This
unique course delves into the core concepts, definitions, and historical evolution of these investment strategies.
We explore the defining characteristics that set venture capital apart from private equity, highlighting their unique roles in the financial ecosystem. Moreover you’ll gain insight into the various investment strategies employed in both sectors, including leveraged buyouts, special situations, and mezzanine financing.
As you move deeper into the course we’ll analyse how technological disruption, globalisation, and financial crises have reshaped the private equity and venture capital landscape, emphasising the need for adaptable and informed investors.
The latter part of the programme will enable you to gain practical skills and insights into the intricacies of private equity and venture capital funds, investment processes, due diligence, valuation, capital structure, leverage, and ultimately, decision-making, management, and successful exits.
