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 10% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 24000 | $180M | $18M |
| 10 | 48000 | $360M | $36M |
| 20 | 96000 | $720M | $72M |
With unicorns? Multiply by 10. Or 20. Or more.
