Hi Everyone,
I am currently interviewing with a top-tier VC to join their research team in a very junior role. The next step in the process is a 1-page investment opportunity memo which the team will evaluate. While I have experience with executive summaries generally, I have never written a 1-page memo. Apologies if this is an ignorant question, but is there a specific format used in the VC world for something like this?
I am fully prepared to use a condensed research paper outline, but wanted to check here first. I am aware of the Roelof Botha leaked Sequoia memo, but that seems somewhat long. Additionally, I am aware of this template: https://alitamaseb.medium.com/a-template-for-star… .
First-person insight here would really help. Thank you very much to anyone who reads or comments. Take care.
Hey That one guy111, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I am sad to say, but this thread is lonely, so thought I'd post in here to try and help out. Some potential topics that might help:
More suggestions...
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
Bessemer publishes past investment memos on their website that you can reference (https://www.bvp.com/memos)
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much. I appreciate this a lot as it will give me multiple data points to reference in terms of language, content, etc. (Sb'd.)
Have a great weekend.
