Join us for an advanced session on VC Fund Modelling, focusing on two building blocks: Portfolio Construction and Decomposition. This workshop will dive deep into robust portfolio construction and explore how to decompose it to optimise fund performance. We’ll explore how these processes contribute to the overall fund modelling framework.

This session builds on concepts introduced in previous fund modelling sessions. It is fully valuable as a standalone workshop for experienced operators, with a strong focus on practical application, decision-making trade-offs and real-world fund construction dynamics.
