Build practical knowledge of fundraising through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and Follow-on Public Offerings (FPOs). This course is designed for aspiring finance professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors who want to understand how companies raise capital and how public offerings are evaluated. You’ll examine fundraising fundamentals, working capital needs, IPO processes, and the role of investment banks. You’ll also learn to interpret Profit & Loss, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet statements, assess financial projection assumptions, and evaluate the advantages and risks of going public. The course then advances to valuation-driven decision-making using Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), EBITDA, Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios, and venture capital methods. You’ll explore share structures, deal size, FPO assumptions, and optimal capital structures while comparing IPOs and FPOs in practical contexts. By the end, you’ll be able to assess IPO readiness using quantitative and qualitative factors, apply valuation methods to estimate fair company value, evaluate business performance for fundraising, calculate FPO assumptions, and distinguish between IPO and FPO strategies. Its focused combination of financial-statement analysis, public-offering mechanics, and advanced valuation methods gives you a structured way to assess fundraising decisions and navigate capital markets with greater confidence.
