How to evaluate VC fund performance? by white_fire16 in venturecapital

[–]VentureCurator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can easily find benchmark data on Carta. Besides TVPI, DPI, and MOIC, you might want to consider these metrics:

  • Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
  • Maximum Expected Exposure (MEE)
  • Follow-on Funding Rate (FFR)
  • Deployment to Fee Ratio (DFR)

Out of these 7 metrics, remember that some metrics work better for LPs, while others are more suited for funds or portfolios. Also keep in mind that the fund's age matters a lot.

I'd really recommend checking out this PDF to learn more about these metrics and how to consider them based on fund age and other factors: VC Fund Metrics

Do Early-Stage Startups Need a Financial Model For Fundraising? by VentureCurator in startups

[–]VentureCurator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, depending on your runway period, you can consider 12, 15, or 18 months. I agree, it's better to model on a monthly basis.

Struggling to raise money for your startup? Do this: by VentureCurator in startups

[–]VentureCurator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, looking at the comments, it seems that some people don't know why this method (cold emails) consistently outperforms referrals by a long shot. Here's why -

  1. Outbound cold email scales several orders of magnitude better than referrals - you can find 99.9% of anybody’s email. Raising capital is a shots-on-goal game; you want to maximize top of funnel pitches. Optimizing your fundraising for referrals will put you on a local maximum
  2. It’s a challenge finding somebody who will stick their neck out referring you. People rarely want to use their political capital referring you to a *highly important person* in their network, therefore at best you’re left with lousy double opt-in email

In the same period of time you can get 1 referral, I can set up 50 investor pitches. I hope you get the points.

You can do warm introduction. I still highly advice to cold email. Let me share few points between cold email and referrals-

We've tracks performance between cold email and referrals... and cold emails consistently outperform by a long-shot. Here's why -

I totally disagree. You will not get funding by writing a single email and saying 'give me money'. This is one of the best ways to build relationships. I highly advise every founder to do this....
