Portfolio construction model

Size a fund from the bottom up: how many companies, at what cheque, how much to hold back for follow-ons, and what the graduation and exit assumptions do to the return. The same model GPStack firms use — free, and nothing to sign up for.

Annual, by component

Cumulative net to LPs — above water in year 12

Some proceeds arrive after the 10-year term. Extensions are not modelled — treat those years as an indication, not a plan.
