Hi! It's Weekend Fund. Before diving into this model, read our post on portfolio construction.

This is a basic model to help fund managers understand the levers, assumptions, and potential outcomes in various scenarios. This is intentionally simple so that it's easy to understand and use, but it's also important to acknowledge the power law in venture and reality that a single investment can have a massive impact on overall returns in any model.
