Carry is why VCs need large outcomes: a fund earns most of its money from a few investments big enough to generate profits worth 20 percent.
자주 묻는 질문
What is the standard VC fee structure?
Commonly “2 and 20”: a 2 percent annual management fee on committed capital plus 20 percent carried interest on profits.
How does carry shape investor behavior?
It pushes funds toward companies with billion-dollar potential, since modest exits barely move fund-level profits.
