Sogang University Graduate School of Business, Recruiting for Mini MBA Program in Financing Consulting

Sogang University Graduate School of Business announced that it is recruiting the 20th batch of students for the Fundraising (Investment Attraction) Consulting miniMBA until March 31.

The Fundraising (Investment Attraction) Consulting miniMBA course is an advanced short-term MBA (miniMBA) program designed for entrepreneurs aiming to raise funds for small and medium-sized venture companies.

The biggest advantage of this course is that it systematically covers everything from A to Z about types, methods, and strategies related to fundraising, including investment attraction and government policy funds. No matter how good the idea or how promising the business model is, securing timely funding is not an easy task. Nevertheless, many entrepreneurs challenge themselves without sufficient knowledge or strategy regarding fundraising from the start.

Final selection for the Sogang University Graduate School of Business Fundraising (Investment Attraction) Consulting miniMBA is conducted through interviews. Professor Cheon Hyung-sung, who is in charge, stated the selection criteria as “Recruiting a minimal number of diligent candidates who meet the purpose of fundraising learning through interviews.”

The majority of participants are CEOs and CFOs from small and medium-sized venture companies, startups, and prospective entrepreneurs. Some retired financial sector professionals, lawyers, accountants, tax accountants, patent attorneys, and management consultants also participate and, after completion, engage in specialized fundraising business activities.

Upon completion of the Sogang University Fundraising Consulting miniMBA, participants receive a certificate and a completion plaque jointly signed by the President of Sogang University and the Dean of the Graduate School of Business.

Fundraising is like blood to a company. In other words, it is no different from a lifeline. Over 90% of the success or failure in the early stages of a business depends on successful fundraising. Fundraising is the most critical factor that determines the life of a company. For company CEOs, fundraising is the highest priority and core competency, and it cannot be emphasized enough.

The 16-week fundraising lectures are filled with fascinating stories that demand full attention. The networks necessary for fundraising obtained through the lectures are also all established in one place. Participants can acquire everything related to fundraising, including various government support agencies, first-tier financial institutions, AC, VC, CVC, credit management, technology valuation, investor perspectives on evaluation, value assessment, seed to series investment attraction, type-specific investment attraction strategies and methods, IR and PR know-how, business plan writing, pitching Q&A, and more. All education in the Sogang University Fundraising (Investment Attraction) miniMBA is packed with practical, applicable, and beneficial topics.

Decision-making, negotiation strategies, valuation strategies, and corporate diagnosis are taught directly by the MBA faculty of Sogang University Graduate School of Business, while most other lectures are delivered by top experts in fundraising and investment fields.
