2. **Expected Revenue Streams**:
   * **Equity Financing Returns**: $30,000,000 projected return over 5 years from successful ventures and exits.
   * **Venture Capital Inflows**: Additional $20,000,000 over the 5-year period from co-investments and funding rounds.
3. **Discount Rate**: 5% per annum, for present value calculations.
4. **Time Horizon**: 5 years, reflecting the typical investment cycle for venture capital and technology startups.

**Methodology:**
