Description:

How is a company... born? Can it be performed via C-section? Is there a midwife present? Do its parents get in a fight over what to name it? In this unit, we'll get into the nitty-gritty with regard to the formation, structure and inception of a fledgling company. You may not be raising an actual baby, but you will be raising funds. Let's hope they have their mother's cheekbones.
