J-Curve
Definition
The J-curve describes a venture fund’s returns over time: negative in early years as fees and losses land first, then rising as winners mature, tracing the letter J.
Wie es im Fundraising vorkommt
The J-curve explains fund-lifecycle behavior founders encounter, like young funds deploying eagerly and old funds pressing for liquidity.
