What is the Ideal Portfolio Size for a €5 Million Fund Managed by a Solo GP: 15-20 or 20-25 Investments?

Regarding optimal portfolio size do you have any references you can share? For example for a EUR 5 million fund run by a solo GP what would be your suggestion for the number of companies invested? 15-20? 20-25? 25-30? I am thinking of 15-20 investments to have the 'attention span' required to help them grow max 20-25 but would like your input

The size very stage specific. At seed average is 20-25. At pre-seed it’s more. At Series-A you can do less.
