11 ratings

Forecast the cash flows and investment returns for a venture studio through a fund plus studio dual-entity operating model.

The Venture Studio Model is a spreadsheet financial model for forecasting a venture studio using the dual-entity studio plus fund structure, to help understand overall fund assumptions and how portfolio construction impacts returns. Creates an annual forecast of primary studio cash flows and fund cash flows and metrics, as well as overall portfolio details.

Walkthrough

Highlights

Annual forecast of a venture studio, calculating fund cash flows, investments, proceeds, distributions to limited partners, and all typical fund performance metrics, including Gross/Net Multiple and Gross/Net IRR, Interim IRR, RVPI, DPI, TVPI.

Uses an average investment approach for modeling portfolio construction for the fund, and adds in the returns to the studio from their ownership of the incubated companies. In this approach, you assume the average new investment (check size) and the allocation of capital to new investments and follow-on investments, and assume an overall return multiple on invested capital, as well as the returns to the studio for their ownership.

Background to the portfolio construction method at How to Model a Venture Capital Fund

Create an operating budget for the studio through a separate sheet to model revenues, operating expenses from incubating and launching companies, and the overall cash flows of the studio entity on an annual basis.

The models are originally built in Google Sheets, and the formatting is a bit better in Google Sheets; in Excel you may want to adjust the row spacing, fonts, and chart formatting to get the aesthetics you want.

Exchange: I offer exchanges for similar-priced models if we determine that a different model is a better fit based on your needs. Contact me and we can figure out if a different model would be a better fit.

Upgrade: If you find that you need more detail or structure from a more advanced model, you can apply your purchase towards a more advanced model. The structures are fairly consistent so it's usually fairly easy to take any inputs from your existing Foresight model and use it in a more advanced model. Just contact me for details.

Downgrade: I offer downgrades to a less advanced model if the model you purchased is more than you need. Contact me to learn more about downgrades and see if a less advanced model would be a better fit for you.

If you have any questions about the applicability of the models for your business or questions about the models, contact me anytime for a chat or a demo.

Refunds: I accept refunds on a case-by-case basis.

Financial modeling can be a complicated thing; I've worked hard to make the models as easy to use as possible, but this is a fundamentally hard thing, and almost without fail, with a little hand holding and direction I am able to successfully guide people on how to use the model to fit what they need.

If you have an issue, and you reach out within one month from purchase, I will first work to see if an exchange, upgrade, or downgrade to a different model is a better fit for your needs. If a different model is not a fit, and we've discussed how the model is not a fit for your business, then I will process a refund.

If you have any questions about the applicability of the models for your business or questions about the models, contact me before purchase, and you can explain a bit about what you're looking to accomplish and I'll help figure out if the models are a good fit for you. If you're looking for more information not covered online, I am also generally happy to do an online demo or discuss the applicability in more detail.
