How to VC: Creating a VC fund portfolio modelDave McClure
This article aims to help VCs figure out how to size a venture capital fund, how many companies to include in your portfolio, and when and how to do follow-on investments. Most VCs aim to make a 3X (net) return on initial fund capital, at a ~20% net IRR. Note however, likely less than 10% of most VC funds achieve that goal.
Basic concepts of marketing and branding for venture capital. Emphasis on competitive differentiation (aka "How are you different/better than other VCs in your category?"). Specific focus on defining areas of "value add" that aren't BS.
