Hi Ray:
My newest book, The Customer-Funded Business: Start, Finance, and Grow Your Company with Your Customers' Cash (Wiley, forthcoming August 2014), argues that there are five models for building a customer-funded (rather than investor-funded) business, at least at the outset. Icons like Dell, Microsoft, and Banana Republic did just that. And no, I don't mean crowdfunding!
Send me an email and I'll send you Chapter 1, along with a syllabus for our Financing the Entrepreneurial Business MBA elective. You should have at least one session in your new course on this approach.
Best,
John

Subject: [ENTREP] Entrepreneurial Finance Course Development
I am developing a course related to entrepreneurial finance, focusing on financial management in an entrepreneurial context (with a slant toward start-ups) as well as funding sources. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for how this course could be designed, possibly a sample syllabus, and any other resources that would be useful.
Thank very much for any information you can provide.
Raymond
