Common questions about our training courses
Deal sourcing strategies and the due diligence process are covered as applied disciplines, addressing how venture capitalists identify, evaluate, and qualify investment opportunities across different stages and sectors. Delegates learn how due diligence is structured, what it examines, and how findings inform investment decisions. Case studies of successful investments are used to ground this content in real venture capital decision-making contexts.
Seed and early-stage funding, growth stage financing, and bridge and later-stage investments are each addressed as distinct financing contexts with different risk profiles, investor expectations, and deal structures. Delegates gain a working understanding of how capital needs, governance requirements, and investor dynamics evolve as a company progresses through funding rounds. Exit strategies are also covered, completing the full funding lifecycle from initial investment through to realisation.
The operational support provided by venture capitalists to portfolio companies is covered in depth, addressing how VCs contribute to growth strategy, scaling decisions, performance monitoring, and turnaround management beyond their financial role. Delegates gain a clear understanding of what value-add looks like in practice and how it differentiates strong venture capital relationships from purely transactional ones.
The course covers valuation methods specific to the venture capital context, where traditional metrics are often limited or unavailable. Delegates learn how venture capitalists value seed, early-stage, and growth-stage companies using approaches suited to high-uncertainty, high-growth environments. Term sheet structuring and negotiation are covered alongside valuation, giving delegates a complete picture of how deal economics are established and agreed.
Board dynamics and governance are addressed within the portfolio management content, covering how venture capitalists engage with portfolio company boards, what effective governance structures look like at different stages of company development, and how board relationships affect operational outcomes. This is particularly relevant for delegates who sit on or interact with startup boards in an investment or advisory capacity.
Performance monitoring frameworks and the metrics used to track portfolio company progress are covered alongside strategies for handling underperformance and executing turnarounds. Delegates learn how venture capitalists identify when a portfolio company is off track, what intervention options are available, and how to navigate the governance and relationship dynamics that arise during challenging periods. This content is directly applicable to anyone with active portfolio management responsibilities.
