This is not correct. While VCs may expect their portfolio to return 30%/year, depending on the stage of the company, they should expect 80% to 200% return a year from each individual investment to account for dilution in subsequent financings and the fact that most investments don't really make it. This 30% number deludes entrepreneurs and provides a false valuation expectation.
