Hello Daniel,
I follow a similar principle of not over-emphasizing VC funding. I know the context of my students and have a sense of the type of projects they do through the Entrepreneurship course I teach and accordingly try to cover every possible mode of funding new ventures and the expectations from such funding institutions. But there are many things that founders need to know before even they think of seeking funding.
I am attaching the syllabus, which has the book I am using. The book is supplemented by many contemporary funding real-life cases and some videos.
I wish you the best in designing and developing the new course. Let me know if you have any questions

Subject: Undergraduate Entrepreneurial Finance - Textbook Recommendations / Syllabus Request
Hi All,
I will be teaching an undergraduate entrepreneurial finance course in the fall and am looking for textbook recommendations. I would like to use a text that is not overly focused on risk capital financing (e.g., VC/angel), but instead gives adequate coverage to more common sources of finance for new ventures (e.g., debt, government programs, 3Fs, personal savings, income) and recent developments (e.g., crowdfunding).
I would also love to see you course syllabi and/or any course materials that you are willing to share.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
Daniel
