VC Firm Investment Thesis Worksheet - Simple fill-in-the-blank template for creating a VC thesis
by•
In order to build a strong venture capital firm as a first-time fund manager, you need to create a strong Investment Thesis that clearly states your fund size, stage, focus, and geography. To help you get started, here is a simple fill-in-the-blank template.
@conradegusa You are right, you need to make something like this. You also need to make it simple. A lot of your customers will be people who are not that good with the new technology. You can make something cool, but if it is not simple enough, so anyone can use it, you will have a problem. I for example had problems with editing some PDF forms on my own, and I found a website where you can just fill in the existing forms. That has made it so much easier for me, just make something like that.

Hi everyone,
We created this template as part of our VC Lab program (http://fi.co/vc), which helps first-time fund managers form new venture funds.
A great investment thesis really is the backbone of a venture fund. Also, similar to any product you may build, an investment thesis requires a ton of customer development and iteration.
There are way too many innovative and impactful businesses that need funding, and we believe a new wave of impactful venture funds can help fill the gap.
If you have any feedback I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
