Valuation, deal structuring and negotiation


Lecturer:

Dr. Ingo Krocke and Florian Buddemeier will present this workshop covering a real life leveraged buyout. The participants will get the chance to demonstrate their ability to develop a quick and profound analysis of the attractiveness of an investment opportunity both in terms of market and company positioning. In a seller/buyer role play the participants will have to develop a valuation of the business, a possible financing structure and a negotiation strategy.
After incorporating feedback by the AUCTUS professionals, the teams will finally negotiate the deal terms and will jointly discuss the results.
Given the various tasks in the process of valuation, deal structuring and negotiation both participants with profound leveraged buyout knowledge but also participants with less technical expertise will have the chance to get a realistic impression of the competitive day to day business of a private equity fund.

Company Building as a New Asset Class


Lecturer:

Since 2007 company building/incubation has developed as new phenomena in the internet venture scene and has taken over a significant part of the entrepreneurial activity. Some of the most successful startups in Germany have evolved out of this context and more and more investment money is flowing in this segment. Our hypothesis - which we would like to discuss in this workshop session - is, that company builders, like Project A as one of the most relevant player in Germany, are establishing a new asset class for investors. In the workshop sessions we will first give you insights in the set up, business model and business/investment approach of company builders at the example of Project A. Based upon this we will engage in a deeper discussion around our hypothesis.
