As used throughout this presentation, "Fund I" refers to all funds and investment vehicles managed by Valar Ventures Management LLC prior to the formation of Valar Global Fund 2, on an aggregate
basis. "Fund 2" refers to Valar Global Fund 2 LP and Valar Global Principals Fund 2 LP, on an aggregate basis, and "Fund 3" refers to Valar Global Fund 3 LP and Valar Global Principals Fund 3 LP, on
an aggregate basis. All figures presented are unaudited estimates in USD as of 6/30/2017, including signed deals that are expected to close in Q3. Gross figures do not include the impact of fees, expenses
and carry, and net figures are calculated by reducing gross investment profits by a flat 25% for hypothetical management fees, expenses, and carry.

Our team is deliberately small: Andrew and
James are the Investment Committee and meet
the companies together. There are no "Monday
morning meetings" or partner politics. We can
make decisions in real time. We also sit on the
boards together, eliminating horse trading over
remaining reserves in follow-on rounds.
RESULT: We are solely returns focused and can
move faster than anyone else in the business.
