Cost of Equity for VC Firms

Hey guys,

Is there anywhere I could find the cost of equity for VC firms?

More specifically, is there anywhere that I could find the returns venture capitalists need to make on their old funds, in order to raise money for new funds?

Cheers.

Venture Capital Mock Interview

“"Sam was incredibly helpful during our mock interview session. Not only is he a genuinely nice person who creates a comfortable environment, but he also provided me with highly actionable feedback on my answers. When I prep by myself, I often find myself falling into rabbit holes and overcomplicating things without realizing that my approach might be wrong. Sam immediately recognized these pitfalls and pointed them out clearly. His direct guidance on how to structure my answers has given me a concrete path forward, helping me avoid spinning my wheels on inefficient preparation methods. I really appreciate his constructive criticism and look forward to implementing these changes immediately”
