Distribution

A Distribution is the payment or transfer of cash, stock, or other property from a company or fund to its owners or investors, such as dividends, return of capital, or exit proceeds. Distribution in a VC fund refers to sending proceeds to LPs after liquidity events, and Distribution timing and form can affect taxes and realized performance.
