Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject deals with sources of finance, the requirements of funders, and the corporate development of technology start-ups. Australian venture-capital sources will be analysed, as well as the expectations that they have for returns, equity positions, and intellectual property rights. Licensing, as a means of deriving revenue flow, while retaining control over intellectual property, will be analysed. Comparisons will be drawn with venture capital supply in the USA and Europe. Taxation structures will be examined, as well as stock-market flotation, corporate planning and structures. Current models for funding decisions and impediments to funding will be considered.
