This week in the EUVC Academy

Upcoming Portfolio Construction and Decomposition Masterclass and a brand new EUVC-built Monte Carlo simulator

We’re already on week 8 of our inaugural fund modelling cohort, which honestly feels a bit wild. Today, we’re hosting our LP Expert Panel, an invite only session reserved for cohort members where they get to go deep with experienced LPs on how they actually evaluate venture funds.

Quick programming update as well. We had to reschedule our upcoming session “Fund Modelling in VC: Portfolio Construction & Decomposition” to Wednesday, Mar 18, 2:00–4:00 PM WET. The upside, you now have a bit more time to register.

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth your time, go check the recording of our previous session “Fund Modelling in VC: Assumptions Sheet Construction.” During that session we shared a brand new tool: the EUVC-built Monte Carlo simulator. You really need to see the recording to appreciate it, it’s kind of crazy.

Huge shoutout to Marc Penkala from āltitude who helped us build it. And by helped, I mean he basically did the whole thing and I’m just basking in the glory.

If you’re interested in joining a future edition of the cohort, or if there are questions you’d want covered next time around, feel free to drop a comment on this post

LP Expert Panel with Evan Finkel (Integra GA) and Lorenz Mittermeier (KfW Capital)

Special invite-only LP expert panel focused on fund modelling with Evan Finkel, Head of VC Investments at Integra Global Advisors, and Lorenz Mittermeier, Investment Manager at KfW Capital.

Fund Modelling in VC: Portfolio Construction & Decomposition

This advanced session focuses 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.

UPCOMING: GP AMA with Project A’s Thies Sander

An exclusive GP AMA with Thies Sander, Founding Partner at Project A. Registration isn’t open yet. EUVC Academy members get priority access.

NEW: Fund Modelling in VC: Assumption Sheet Construction

This advanced fund modelling session focuses on creating an assumptions sheet for a VC fund model. We explore three key areas (Core Assumptions, Asset Development, and Equity Valuation Dynamics) to demonstrate their impact on fund performance.

Fund Modelling in VC: Essential Building Blocks

This session sits at the core of our fund modelling curriculum. It dives into the structural components that sit underneath every venture capital fund model, and into the constraints that define what a fund can and cannot do in practice.

Fund Modelling in VC: Foundations of Fund Modelling

This session introduces the core concepts behind venture capital fund modelling, with a focus on how fund models are structured, what they are meant to explain and how they support real investment and portfolio decisions over the life of a fund.

UPCOMING: VC Monte Carlo Simulator

This resource is currently in test mode with our fund modelling cohort members. We’re polishing it with their feedback before releasing it publicly. EUVC Academy members will get first beta access.
