FUND PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION ENABLES DOUBLE DONWN STRATEGY

7

• Investing in 25 companies per fund lowers the risk of any single investment

• If you invest “all chips in” investing 10% of the fund into one deal and do that with 5 you have invested 50% of fund dollars into 5 of your 25 - second wave to de-risk

• Fund investing enables the strategy of double down on your winners

GO TO JAIL OR GO TO THE BANK

12

• The venture capital market

benefits from the ability to

trade on inside information

• Venture Capital is a clear

way to beat the stock market

Gordon Gekko went to jail for inside trading (Michael Douglas in the movie Wall Street)

RUBICON VENTURE CAPITAL

In the centuries since Julius Caesar led a Roman legion across the Rubicon River, “crossing the Rubicon” has become synonymous with irrevocably committing oneself to a bold and revolutionary course of action.
