How the Company Makes MoneyMCI generates revenue primarily through management fees and performance fees from its investment funds.

Additionally, MCI benefits from performance fees, which are earned when the returns on investments exceed a predetermined benchmark, incentivizing the firm to maximize the growth of its portfolio companies. The company also realizes gains from exits of portfolio investments, such as through public offerings or sales to strategic buyers, contributing significantly to its overall profitability. Partnerships with various technology firms and co-investment opportunities further enhance MCI's investment capabilities and potential returns.
