哥伦比亚大学金融工程科研

Columbia University MFE Research Group

面向对象：欲申请美国名校金融工程、运筹学、物流、经济等相关专业的高中生为主

科研导师：哥伦比亚大学金融工程导师

科研地点：哥伦比亚大学科研组会议室

科研起源

在最新的世界学术水平排行榜中，绝大部分都是美国的大学。由于美国大学与工商业、企业结合紧密，同时学校的教学资源、实验课题及实验设备都属于全球顶尖状态，从而成为众多留学生的梦想留学目的地。

目前中国学生申请赴美留学人数日益剧增，以往美国顶尖名校选择录取GPA高分学生，后来校方逐渐发现学生在学习中缺少创新和实操的能力，进而导致美国名校录取率的下降。近些年，招生官对选择学生时更加看重的是自主创新、专业技能、思维创造才能等综合素质人才。对于计划入读美国名校的学生，实际的科研经验无疑可以提升竞争力，从而大大增加被名校录取的概率。

科研微观目的

Provide you with a good grasp of the venture capital cycle.

Develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

科研计划

Who should take this research: Students seeking any of the three goals below would benefit from taking this research.

1. If you are interested in working for a venture capital organization at some point in your career.

2. If you expect to work alongside venture-capitalists either as an entrepreneur or investment bankers.

3. If you expect to work as money manager who would be investing in such funds.

Module 1: Fundraising

This module examines how VC funds are raised and structured. These funds often have complex features, and the legal issues involved are frequently arcane. But the structure of VC funds have a profound effect on the behavior of venture capital investors. Consequently, it is as important for the entrepreneur raising such capital to understand these issues as it is for a partner in a fund. The module will seek not only to understand the features of venture capital funds and the actors in the fund-raising process, but also to analyze them.

……

Module 3: Exiting

The third module of the research examines the process through which VC investors exit their investments. Successful exits are critical to insuring attractive returns for investors and, in turn, to raising additional capital. But venture capitalists concerns about exiting investments and their behavior during the exiting process itself can some- times lead to severe problems for entrepreneurs.

……

Module 4: Corporate Venture Capital

In this module we would examine how the Venture Capital model of supporting innovation has been adopted by large corporations. This model is usually referred to as Corporate Venture Capital. Many large corporation have tried to emulate the VC model to foster innovations. However the challenges and rewards of corporate venture capital are very different than those of a traditional VC fund. This module would explore some of these issues.
