That's stupid. With 3x leverage you will probably get liquidated to 0, not a good benchmark. 1.1-1.2x is a fair benchmark.

That's the point. With start-ups you probably also get liquidated.
That said, you should obv. adjust your benchmark leverage according to the risk profile of the fund (/start-up).
So. For example, if you invest into a single start-up, you should probably get a 90% failure rate. A simple approximation for leverage would be to check the historical price chart of bitcoin and see what kind of leverage will not get liquidated 10% of the time (historically). You can do other approximations as well.

Thanks for the insight.

Sure. That's not enough though. Just beating bitcoins performance as a VC fund is hard enough. Now imagine you need to beat 3x (or whatever you consider same risk as your start-up portfolio) leveraged bitcoin performance.
Most of bitcoin start-ups rely heavily on bitcoin succeeding, so both the leveraged bitcoin and the bitcoin fund are dependent on that.
If your benchmark is a generic tech VC-fund then, maybe, you may be able to beat the benchmark (if and when bitcoin continues to grow).
