Financial statements play a vital role in the investment thesis by providing crucial information about a company's financial health and performance. They consist of the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, which offer insights into the company's assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows. Investors use these statements to assess the company's past performance, current financial condition, and potential for future growth.

Limited Partnership (LP) Structure: Most VC funds adopt a lim ited partnership structure that includes General Partners (GPs) and Lim ited Partners (LPs). GPs manage the fund’s investment strategy and operations, while LPs contribute capital and share in the fund’s profits. Management Fees and Carried Interest: GPs typically earn management fees based on the total assets under management (AUM) and receive carried interest—a share of the fund’s profits—upon successful exits. This alignment of incentives ensures that GPs are motivated to generate returns for LPs. Investment Period and Fund Duration: VC funds operate within a defined investment period during which they deploy capital into portfolio companies. The fund’s life cycle consists of the investment period and subsequent years during which exits occur, at which point returns are distributed to investors. Governance and Decision-Making: Decision-making within VC funds is determined by partnership agreements and carried out by the fund’s investment committee, typically comprised of GPs and, occasionally, external advisors. Consensus-based decision-making and adherence to investment criteria are essential for maintaining alignment among stakeholders.
