Highlights
What you'll do with it
Sketch the shape of a fund. Set fund size, average check, follow-on allocation, and expected gross return multiple, and see what that produces in fund-level metrics. Use it to test a thesis before committing to a full forecast, or to teach someone how fund economics actually work.
It does not forecast cash flows over time, model timing of capital calls and distributions, or build financial statements. For that, move up to the Venture Capital Model.
