Designed for students seeking careers within high growth companies or financing/advising them, this course develops the ability to relate to entrepreneurial ventures and provide "value added" financial management. This is an experiential based course focused on small group financial consulting projects with high growth companies in Kitchener-Waterloo or Greater Toronto Area. Classes may encompass lecture, case analysis, guest speakers, and discussion of groups' projects. The course includes a substantial class participation requirement leading to the in-depth financial consulting project.

Course is pretty interesting, you get paired with a startup and work on a project with them for the term. Interesting work, lots to learn, panel of speakers come for classes which are very helpful.
