The GP ScoreCard^© is Industry Venture's proprietary manager evaluation methodology which was developed based on the depth of our experience in venture, growth equity and secondaries. We believe the rigor of our due diligence process and the discipline of the GP ScoreCard^© methodology will enable Industry Ventures to select the best unfunded secondary interests and primary commitments and generate superior returns.

The objective of designing and implementing the GP ScoreCard^© is to resist "gut feel" decisions about portfolio fund managers based on an inconsistent or less rigorous process. The GP ScoreCard^© measures partnerships along three basic categories: people, firm, and sector. Within each category, we take a number of criteria into consideration. We score each category and then assign a relative category weight to arrive at a single total score of 1-5 for each investment. In this way, Industry Ventures can quantify the manager evaluation process and compare across firms in an objective and consistent manner.
