How to finance your venture ?
The course aims at providing knowledge and experience to entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs generally start with a mission, a new idea that they want to bring to the world. If the idea is original, it is probably not expected by the market, which has to be educated. This is a very costly experience. Entrepreneurs need to gather capital at the start of the journey. They need to articulate clear plans, define objectives and resources and raise money accordingly. They also need to manage cash for two reasons: i) because the better it is managed, the less you need to raise with outsiders; ii) because generation of cash flow is the pillar of the valuation of the company. And we should add that the practical reason why a company gets bankrupted is because it runs out of cash.. The course is based on this belief. We look at the myth of the balance sheet and explain the dynamics of cash flows and the way they should be managed. We also investigate the basics of venture capital and provide a practical roadmap to entrepreneurs. Many courses are dedicated to the same topic. Our originality is that we operate in the advisory board of the private equity firm, Xerys and are board members of their venture companies. In addition, Michel was the country head for Merrill Lynch in France while Philippe served in the same function at UBS. The former as head of investment banking, the latter as head of global markets.

Open Data and Intelligent Finance
Financial services are changing, from how they’re designed to how they’re delivered. Increasingly, the tools we use to bank, borrow, save, and invest are powered by artificial intelligence, delivered through platforms, and built on open data infrastructure. But what happens when finance becomes invisible? When decisions are automated? When users don’t realise they’re engaging with a financial product? This course explores the rise of intelligent, data-driven finance and how to design systems that are not only efficient but also ethical and inclusive. You’ll learn how Open Data and Open Finance enable cross-sector innovation, and how AI transforms static products into real-time, personalised services. You’ll explore embedded finance models and platform architectures, and examine real-world case studies from global leaders like the UK, India, and Brazil. Along the way, you’ll investigate risks, from consent fragmentation and data inequality to black-box decision-making and regulatory blind spots. Through hands-on activities and a final design project, you’ll apply your learning to propose responsible, user-centred innovations for the future of finance. By the end of the course, you will be able to: • Define the principles and evolution of Open Data and its relationship to Open Banking and Open Finance. • Analyse the key technical, legal, and ethical components that support intelligent, data-driven financial ecosystems. • Evaluate how AI and blended data sources can improve personalisation, credit access, and service delivery. • Interpret global Smart Data initiatives and policy frameworks in countries like the UK, India, Brazil, and Australia. • Identify risks and governance challenges associated with AI, privacy, consent, and data inequality in finance. • Design responsible, inclusive data-sharing strategies that align with transparency, fairness, and innovation goals. This is the third course in the 'AI in Financial Services: Foundations through Future Trends' specialization. We recommend completing 'AI Fundamentals in Financial Services' and 'Designing the Future of Finance' courses first for a strong foundation before exploring open data and intelligent finance.
