In today’s global economy, where innovation and entrepreneurship are driving unprecedented change, private equity and venture capital play pivotal roles in shaping the future of businesses. Delivered in-house or virtually to suit client needs, this unique course is essential for groups of employees seeking to understand these critical investment domains. It provides a thorough exploration of the core concepts, definitions, and historical evolution of private equity and venture capital.
