Lifetime Earnings of VCs and Founders – When does money stop mattering?
What are the average lifetime earning of a VC? (vs) that of a founder with a 20m/50m/100m/1b/30b+ exit?
I just sold my company (small acqui-hire) and and have a small fund (~500k). I'm too much of a divergent thinker to dive into starting another company, but love investing and working with founders. I am looking to dive into VC, but want to understand the lifetime earning potentials here, know what average VCs take home after taxes after one year, 5 years, 10 years, 30 years, with salary and carry, based on size of fund (small seed funds, normal sized funds like USV, bigger like a16z/Seq/KPCB).
At what point does the amount of money stop mattering? After 10m, 100m, 1b, 10b, 100b, or never?
