The 15% Carry

Year Companies Annual Trust Flow (15%)
5 24000 $180M
10 48000 $360M
20 96000 $720M

That's before unicorns. Before windfalls. Just the base engine.

The Unicorn Math

Rate Unicorns
0.01% (industry) 9.6
0.02% 19
0.05% 48
0.10% (our target) 96

96 unicorns × $1B exit = $96B aggregate. Hive's 15% carry = $14.4B. Investor's 20% = $2.88B

The Investor's 20% (Base, No Unicorns)

Year Companies Annual Trust Flow Your 20%
5 24000 $180M $36M
10 48000 $360M $72M
20 96000 $720M $144M

With unicorns? Multiply by 10. Or 20. Or more.
