Features: The models, methods, and processes included in this book have been widely used by entrepreneurs, scholars, individual investors, venture capitalists, and managers of large companies, all of whom are diligently pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams. Previous editions of this book have received considerable acclaim and recognition, being considered one of the most pioneering works in the field of entrepreneurship. The author examines various key issues in new venture financing, the new realities of the debt capital market, and proposes that entrepreneurial financing differs significantly from traditional operational financing. Entrepreneurs and investors often have vastly different perspectives on valuing a company, and the transaction structure is crucial to the success of a business. Through an analysis of four specific cases, the book introduces readers to how to deploy financing and fundraising strategies, how to find equity investors and engage with them, and how to secure debt financing in the capital markets.
