It is a role-play case, intended for use in a leadership development course for MBA students. The case has four roles: two for students playing with the co-founders two for students and of a startup /coaches playing the venture capitalists deciding whether to supply seed capital. Beside both versions of case containing similar background information for the role play, L-25CF comprises additional advice that is available only to the co-founders and L 25VC features additional information that's available only to the venture capitalists.
The role-play goals mentioned in the case could be accomplished when the students playing with the co founders successfully identify and address the questions and concerns of those playing with the venture capitalists. The co founders determine just how to respond and address those issues must solicit and grasp the underlining issues of the venture capitalists, and assure the venture capitalists that a seed investment is rewarding. All pupils possess the opportunity to demonstrate inquiry, active listening, and feedback about the concerns and proposals to address them. All four individuals in the role play have interests and changing aims and have to manage the expectations and perceptions of the others in a manner which may be assertive, collaborative, or both.
