Many companies are starting to form their own venture capital groups to explore different avenues to generate return on investment (ROI) and partner with emerging companies less expensively than through organic growth. An experienced panel of in-house practitioners and external counsel will provide a thorough understanding of current market practice, terms and conditions and applicable securities and ethical issues. You will learn the essentials of corporate venture capital, from examining the anatomy of a venture capital deal, dissecting term sheets and their negotiation, to exploring key issues in financing rounds, exit strategies and securities law compliance. You will also learn about the latest financing trends, regional differences in deal practice and ethical issues that arise when your employees act as directors of start-ups and venture-backed companies.
