A toolkit for scaling a VC firm. This template outlines the relationship between a fund and a 'Venture Partner' (a part-time operator who sources deals). It defines the economics: typically a split of the 'Carry' (profit share) on deals they source, but no salary. The agreement covers non-competes, attribution rights, and vesting schedules. It models how Emerging Managers can build a 'Scout Network' without increasing fixed management fees.

For emerging fund managers, this is how you scale sourcing leverage. For operators, it explains how to monetize your network without launching your own fund. It standardizes the often-murky world of 'Carry Sharing', preventing disputes over who owns the deal attribution.
