Investment Thesis

Alignment Through Ownership: Carry as Retention Engine

The carry pool structure ties team economics directly to fund performance, ensuring every investment professional has meaningful upside. Our allocation methodology weights deal leadership, board service, and value creation contribution.

Implication 1
Partners and MDs hold 68% of carry points — reflecting deal origination responsibility and LP relationship management.
Implication 2
The 30% escrow holdback and 5-year vesting create $47M in unvested "golden handcuffs" across the team.
