FAQs

  • A great question, since this is how you will be compensated for your work and expertise. Carried Interest (also known as “carry”) is a share of the net proceeds of a deal. Here is a written description of carried interest by Investopedia, or if you like videos, here is a great video by Sean O’Sullivan, who breaks it down with an example and a great history lesson.

  • See our “About” page to learn more about the sorts of companies and entrepreneurs we are looking for.

  • Diversity is a strength, and we are excited about working with smart, passionate people, no matter their background. We typically look for someone with deep domain expertise who knows entrepreneurs operating in that domain’s early space. Because we look at deep tech opportunities, this could be a person with a Ph.D. in engineering or science, or it could be someone who works at an accelerator or laboratory. The key is that you have access to early-stage ventures, early on in their life-cycle.

  • We like AVC’s explanation, that it’s “a person who a VC firm brings on board to help them do investments and manage them, but is not a full and permanent member of the partnership.”
