Companies are generally scheduled to graduate in 12 months. As Portfolio Companies move from acceptance toward graduation, funding is made available to them as they reach next stages of performance and accomplishment.

Graduation most likely includes a transactional or funding event. To ensure continued performance and continuity of vision and support, a Venture Farm partner often continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the advisory experts assigned to the company often remain close to the management after graduation.
