Investment Memos

An Investment Recommendation Memorandum is a clear and concise articulation of the key components of how a decision was made to invest in a company. Venture Capital (VC) firms often circulated Memos to their limited partner investors (LP's) so they understand the thesis behind the investment. Looking back on previous Memo's is helpful to glean patterns from early-stage investment decisions.
