Common questions about our training courses
Investment structures and vehicles are addressed as part of the foundational content, covering how venture finance deals are legally structured and how different vehicle types affect investor rights, returns, and governance. This is covered alongside fundraising basics to give delegates a complete picture of how capital is raised, structured, and deployed across the venture finance lifecycle from early-stage through to later rounds.
Deal sourcing and selection, the due diligence process, and negotiating investment terms are covered as a connected sequence reflecting how venture finance transactions are actually structured and executed. Delegates learn how investment opportunities are identified and qualified, what due diligence examines across financial, legal, and operational dimensions, and how findings from that process inform the negotiation of investment terms and deal structure.
Operational support and value addition are addressed as a core dimension of the venture finance relationship, covering how investors contribute to startup growth beyond the provision of capital. Delegates learn what effective operational support looks like across strategy, scaling decisions, and performance tracking, and how metrics and performance frameworks are used to monitor progress and identify where intervention or additional support is needed.
The course covers discounted cash flow analysis and comparable company analysis as the primary valuation techniques, addressing how each method is applied within the specific context of high-growth, early-stage companies where traditional metrics are often limited. Delegates learn how to select and apply the appropriate valuation approach based on company stage, available data, and deal context — and how valuation outcomes feed directly into term negotiation.
Financial planning for startups, scaling and growth financing, and managing cash flow and burn rate are covered as practical financial management disciplines specific to high-growth, capital-intensive environments. Delegates gain a working understanding of how startup financial management differs from conventional corporate finance and what the key metrics and decision points are as a company moves through different funding stages.
Risk identification and mitigation, legal structures and agreements, intellectual property, contract management, and compliance and regulatory issues are all covered as applied considerations within venture finance contexts. Delegates gain a working understanding of the legal and risk frameworks governing venture finance transactions and portfolio company relationships, including how disputes and challenges are handled when they arise.
