Do you ever wonder what a venture fund portfolio looks like? Here is a chart of a made-up portfolio. Assuming it's a $100m fund, $80m was deployed into 15 early-stage startups aiming for approximately 15% ownership in each. This would be a disciplined, concentrated approach. At year 5, it's in the middle of its 10-year life with 9 write-ups but 6 write-offs. No realizations yet but it's on the path to returning the fund. We'll know for sure by year 10.
