Can anyone link to/explain what the 10% carry means?

To make it simple: Let's say you invest $1000 in a startup. The startup gets acquired and your stake is worth $10,000. You get your $1000 back, and then get 90% of the rest. So you get $9100, and Wefunder gets $900.

So x% carry means that the other party gets x% of your profit from a particular investment? Got it, thanks.
