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:

1. Total Expected Revenue: Aggregate of equity financing returns and venture capital inflows.
