VC Portfolio Construction Masterclass for Emerging GPs
If you're raising a Fund I or II, the question that lands every LP meeting is the same: can you actually return this fund? Portfolio construction is the answer, and it's where most emerging managers slip.
In this 60-minute masterclass, Aram Attar, founder of The VC Factory, walks emerging GPs through the portfolio construction work that holds up under LP scrutiny.
What we'll cover:
Sizing your fund model so the math works backwards from a 3x return
The reserves mistake that quietly kills new funds, and how to model your way out of it
Ownership targets, check sizing, and the trade-offs you'll live with
How sophisticated LPs read your portfolio construction document, and what they're testing for
Who should attend
Fund I and Fund II GPs building or stress-testing their portfolio construction. Aspiring emerging managers preparing to raise.
