This course is designed to show law students how they can take their legal skills and use them to their advantage in the VC investing world. The majority of the course will be focused on real scenarios where knowing the law/regulatory space well could have avoided a huge investment mistake or driven outsized returns, and each scenario will be accompanied by case studies and supplemental readings. Class participation and engagement will be critical during discussions so that each student can figure out their own approach to using their legal skills to their advantage in the VC space.
