My field of entrepreneurial finance is constantly changing. We are already moving toward another entirely new approach to startup financing—the notion of initial coin offering. Meanwhile, crowdfunding has grown to a size that puts it in the same boat as venture capital and angel investment. I keep students up-to-date with these changes in my experiential courses, involving guest speakers and updated business cases.
