What are the consequences of choosing a ten-day Capital Call Notice Period rather than thirty?

The Cornerstone LPA offers ten, fifteen or thirty days for limited partners to deliver capital after a call notice. A shorter period presumably helps the manager move quickly on deals, but I imagine it creates friction with investors. What is standard, and what actually happens when an investor cannot fund within the window?

- **10 days** gives the GP more speed and may reduce the need for bridge borrowing, but it creates more LP friction.
- **30 days** is easier for LP treasury processes, especially institutions, but can slow closings and investment timing.

What is standard:
- In practice, **10 to 15 business days** is commonly treated as standard for VC fund capital calls.
- **30 days** is more LP-friendly, but less operationally agile.

If
an LP cannot fund:
- best case: transfer/sell the LP interest to a replacement buyer
- fallback: reduce the LP’s effective commitment
- last resort: default remedies under the LPA, such as penalties or forced sale
