GPA LECTURE COURSES

In this course, we will explore a couple seemingly simple questions: what is venture capital and why should I care? With a practice-based approach, we will examine the core legal and economic issues that characterize venture capital and the startup ecosystem. Our topical coverage will be broad and we will look at the world through the eyes of a venture capital fund. Knowing your way around fund structures, VC financings, portfolio liquidity and the occasional armchair psychology, will give you a leg up whether you end up at a law firm, in-house at a company or investment fund, or at the DA, DOJ, SEC, AG, FBI or any number of the alphabet soup of government jobs that may await you.
