Quels sont les objectifs poursuivis ou les compétences visées ?

Venture capital has gained momentum over the past years and is expected to continue to do so in the context of the current market and economic environment. Venture capitalists support and provide financing to companies across various stages of development from seed stage to expansion stage, and even through Initial Public Offering (IPO) for the successful companies. They have supported the emergence of new ideas, software and technology, medicine or medical equipment, and have developed the venture capital into a thriving asset class. Early stage companies nonetheless remain unprofitable for an extended period and are therefore continuously challenged on their ability to achieve key developmental milestones. This uncertainty poses significant challenges to market participants to implement traditional valuation methodologies and techniques in order to perform fair valuation assessment of venture capital investments.

PwC Academy is pleased to offer this course designed to help participants navigate through the challenges associated with fair valuation in this asset class.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

obtain a comprehensive knowledge of valuation concepts specific to venture capital investments;
understand recognised methodologies (including valuation allocation techniques) and apply them.
