Conducted hands-on Private Equity/Venture Capital screening and valuation as part of a comprehensive class project. In groups of 3-4 took, we developed both a realistic startup business plan and built a hypothetical venture capital fund.
Over the course of the semester we prepared to pitch our startup (including market research, proposed valuation & growth projection) to the venture capital founders.
Enacting the venture capital founders, we picked a niche and created marketing material. Prior to the pitches, we prepared a valuation of another group's startup and made an offer after their pitch to us.
