MS+E 476: Entrepreneurship through the Lens of Venture Capital
Ernestine
Fu is an angel investor in Silicon Valley, partner at venture capital
firm Alsop Louie Partners, and instructor at Stanford University.
Michael Carter is an entrepreneur and technologist who designed the
initial WebSocket protocol for HTML5.
In this talk, Ernestine
and Michael discuss the foundations of venture capital from the
perspective of an investor and entrepreneur, respectively: getting into
venture capital, dynamics of negotiating a financing round, finding
investment opportunities, term sheet basics, portfolio management,
venture firm governance, and GP/LP dynamics.
Course
Description: We often discuss how technology is reinvented and
disrupted, but there is also a good amount of change occurring within
the venture capital industry. Within the past several decades there have
been new entrants, from incubators to angels to different models of
venture capital.
The course explores changes in the venture
capital industry: from the rise of Sand Hill Road and investing in the
dot-com bubble, to incubators and accelerators, equity crowdfunding
platform, and different models of venture capital today.
