FINA6114: Private and Public Equity Financing

2 Credits

Financing is a critical success factor for growing businesses. We will follow the life cycle of a firm to discuss financing at different stages. This course will explore current issues and best practices for private and public equity ranging from early-stage financing with angel investors and Venture Capital to late stage “take-private” transactions such as leveraged buyouts. We will also explore topics including Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), Direct Listings, Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) or “blank-check” companies and Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs). The course will utilize a combination of learning techniques including guest speakers, lectures, in class exercises and case studies. This course was created to combine Fina 6112 and Fina 6113.
