My 4yo daughter has discovered Polaroid photos. They are *everywhere* in our house after 1 day. So I've decided she needs to start paying for them herself. They cost me $1 on amazon I'm going to charge her $.25 (she will earn it!) Growth at all costs, am I right? #VCmath

This post explains well why the VC ecosystem is broken for most of the larger funds. But, again, the math is not true for smaller funds. Interestingly, most of the top brand names in VC became very very large funds 😏 #microVC #VCmath https://t.co/g5CX9BOMrb

VC funds need about $2B in “exits” for each $50m they raise Why? True average ownership of 10% fully-diluted x $2B = $200m. That’s 4x “gross” $50m or just about good enough today. So raise a $300m fund, you need about $12B in exits. Or better.

These days every company seems to be either raising at an unbelievably high price, or having to knock on doors for single dollar bills. A good time for VCs to probably exercise first principles. #VCMath

While this example is for late-stage VC, founders need to do the math for every round they raise. #vc #venturecapital #founders #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship #funding #exits #vcmath #unicorns

Wondering whether your fundable? Think about the #vcmath that goes into an early stage investment. Q1: What’s the return multiple on this? Q2: what are the financial milestones necessary for each stage? @RittenhouseVC @bftp_sep @InSITEFellows @ic3401 @Quorum_Sc

@asanwal @CBinsights Well, 2% of $25M only gets you so far. One ticket would be 1% of their annual mgmt fee, so u can't blame the guy for asking #vcmath
