What is a typical sponsor promote for self-funded search?

I've seen a few data points in the GSB primer, but curious what people are actually able to get. Also, what IRR and/or MOIC milestones is the promote typically tied to. I know that there is no "one fits all" solution, but curious to hear some real data points from searchers/deals that got funded.

I have had the same question but have not seen any kind of standard or formula. There are some insight about it here https://jimsteinsharpe.com/contemplating/funding-the-search/#:~:text=Investors%20receive%20a%2050%25%20step,25%2D35%25%20upon%20exit. but as you said there are no specifics. Please post if you find any examples and the reasoning behind the calculations.
