How and where do I enter in SAM, a Venture Capitalist funding scenario which, usually consists of a 2% annual management fee and a "Carried Interest" or "Carry" of 20% of the profits generated by the fund investment after the initial investor received the predetermined return on their investment.  For example, if a fund generates $100 million in profits after returning the initial investment, the VC firm could receive $20 million "Carry".

Hi,

In general, SAM models a project from the system owner's perspective, and assumes that the owner builds, operates, and maintains the system.

For a project financed with venture capital, you could account for recurring fees associated with financing using inputs on the Operating Costs page. For up-front fees, you could account for them using the up-front fee for debt or other financing cost input on the Financial Parameters page.

Best regards,
Paul.

Thank You!
