This course is intended for students interested in learning more about creating and building private equity backed companies, either directly as a principal or as an advisor. The course will take a practical and interactive approach on how venture capital and buyout companies are formed and scale, focusing on three main stages of development: (1) Formation; (2) Growth; and (3) Exit. Among the topics that will be covered are company formation (including term sheets and financing documents), scaling through M&A and organic growth, and liquidity events (IPO and sale). The course will have guest speakers, utilize case studies, and employ a project-based approach. If you want to learn more about the private equity process, this course is for you.
The course is open to Stanford Law and GSB students.
