Assignment: Synthesize the Importance of the Four Aspects of Venture Capital and Private Equity

Part One:

Consider the following scenario: Your organization is ready to look at attracting external investment in order to grow. You have been assigned the task of preparing an all-inclusive PowerPoint presentation on the subject of venture capital and private equity to be used throughout the company for training and general informational purposes. Your audience may vary from upper level executives on down to entry level staff. You decide that an overview of the four aspects of valuation, deal structuring, governance, and harvesting that are company specific is in order. Time is of the essence, as your company is also considering another overseas expansion.

Select an organization with which you are familiar and a foreign country that could be considered for future expansion efforts. Begin your presentation by identifying your company and the country considered for expansion, as well as the products/services offered. Clearly indicate how each aspect of venture capital and private equity is important to attracting the investment needed to expand and identify the steps that should be considered to move forward. Provide specific and detailed examples when able to clarify your points.

You are welcome to select the type of slides, text, and media that will best support your overall thesis statement, main points, and concluding comments.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as "speaker notes" for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least five additional scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 15-20 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: 150-200 words for each slide

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style where appropriate.
