Review

We will review all new submissions once per week. After we review the form we will email you to ask for a video call or to pass on your deal.

Video Call

These will be approximately 45 minutes and focus on better understanding your team. This is also when we'll start to build an internal investor memo.

Memo and Clarification

When we start building our memo, we also perform additional research into your market and the founding team. We start building a pre-mortem, a backcast and a hypothesis on how we can help the company if we invest. As we write the memo we will reach out to the team with additional questions.

Final Decision

If we decide to invest we will help pull the round together. This may include finalizing the terms of the deal, prepping additional materials for other investors and introductions to other investors.
