CCE 13
INFLUENCE®, Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship: An Intensive Ventureship Winter 2025

INFLUENCE® as an investment method for start-ups: a hybrid course melding principles in economics, sociology, and psychology, this intense program examines core venture capital structures, brand development, and social priming through social media influencers and applies them to create a new company where INFLUENCE drives growth and value. Students will act like venture capitalist and founders. Over the past three winter studies we created three companies, reviewed investment term sheets and evaluated the nature of venture funding. The London Fund’s proprietary Lal Toofan methodology and investment approach help students develop a start-up, its business plan, and a venture capital presentation. Celebrity influencers, investors and seasoned entrepreneurs will contribute to the class lectures. Out-of-class work includes competitive research on investments, financial modeling, and social network browsing. Interested students should apply by October 25.
