Financing for Growth

How a new venture or an existing company raises money to fund its growth is critically important to the long term success of the company. The conventional and unconventional lessons and knowledge taught in this workshop to successfully plan and execute the financing process have proven invaluable to management teams worldwide. Conversely, poor execution of this process can not only change the distribution of created wealth for management but also can actually destroy a promising company. Strong execution of the financing process can enhance a company’s probability and magnitude of success. This workshop will provide a comprehensive framework for understanding fundraising processes and will then show attendees how this framework can be applied to real world situations with the use of some illustrative case studies.
