A short-lived capital stock will manifest in accelerated depreciation and a fragile capital structure will incur an undue interest charge.

A venture capital firm invests under the premise of an upside scenario, this is to say that if the firm invests in 10 companies through the fund, they only expect one or two companies to hit a home run (an 8-10x return or more), and couple solid returns ( >1x), while the other six or seven companies may fail (no return) or simply return the amount

In a typical early stage fund, the ratio of capital invested per partner is generally $50 million. Thus if you see a firm raising or closing a fund roughly $50 million or greater than the last fund, there is a good chance it is looking to add staff if it finds the right fit.
