VC Carry Valuation Model🪄

Just joined VC or negotiating a VC offer? It’s important to understand how to value your carry allocation in the fund(s). What does your xx% carry mean in $$$?

Let me run you through how it works🧵

some overall themes we identified:
🤑 as money (capital) gets increasingly commoditized, what are YOU (as a vc) doing to “sell” your money?
🛣 there is no ONE path into vc – take advantage of the creativity you can have when breaking into vc
❤️ do what you WANT to do
