Description
This course is designed to introduce undergraduate students to the tech VC ecosystem in NYC from the perspective of actual venture capital investors. We will cover, at a high level, various aspects of how venture capitalists perform their multifaceted industry functions (for example, startup founder evaluation and relationships, due diligence, internal deal approval and selling process, and post investment portfolio company support). Students will also hear startup pitches and roll play as VCs, but these pitches will also include actual VCs to provide real time input and startup evaluation.
