About this Unit
New Venture Finance introduces students to essential theories, frameworks, principles and requirements for understanding and seeking funding for new ventures, with a focus on investor philosophy. A dynamic approach to seeking initial and subsequent funding for developing innovations and entrepreneurship is emphasised in this unit, recognizing that most new ventures are not fully funded as they launch. The unit also explores approaches related to new ventures at the stage at which they are maturing into defined businesses. Students will be introduced to commercialisation and strategies for the development of business plans designed to seek funding and support.
