Looking for a course for the Spring? Consider these Course 15 offerings. Seats are available:

Examines the elements of entrepreneurial finance, focusing on technology-based start-up ventures, and the early stages of company development. Addresses key questions which challenge all entrepreneurs: how much money can and should be raised; when should it be raised and from whom; what is a reasonable valuation of a company; and how funding, employment contracts and exit decisions should be structured.

15.6181 Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Legal Tools and Frameworks. Tues 7-9 pm, 32-141. 6 units. P/D/F grading. Instructor – John Akula
A deep dive into the law-sensitive issues faced by startups, designed for anyone thinking about founding a startup or working for one, or who is interested in advancing an innovation from idea to impact.  John Akula was for many years a practicing attorney, and practitioners will co-teach most classes.  No background in law or business is expected.  One caution:  Most of the value of this course is in the class discussions, so plan on attending. http://stellar.mit.edu/S/course/15/sp17/15.618/index.html
