How are VCs paid (and should entrepreneurs care)? | Jo Tango

First, they get a commission on gains they produce for the fund, which is usually 20 percent and is called "carried interest." Second, VCs receive a set fee, to run the business, while they and their investors await a future good payday from investment gains.
