Base the MOIC is applied to

The MOIC multiplies a base. Pick which one to use for the simulation — both are valid but give different results due to fee drag.
Your ownership (2.00%) is always respected on the proceeds the fund generates.

On investable ($18.8M)
MOIC × capital actually deployed in startups. This is the GP view — reflects pure portfolio performance. More conservative.
On fund ($25.0M)
MOIC × total fund size. Simple mental model ("if the fund makes 6x, $25M → $150M"). Ignores fee drag.
