Let’s define a few inputs first: Ask: 🚀 What is the project, business, or asset we’re pitching? 📊 What are the core financial highlights? (e.g., revenue, growth, margin, burn rate) 🎯 What is the investment ask? (Amount and valuation, if known) 📈 What is the expected return profile? (ROI, IRR, exit strategy, payback period) 🌍 What’s the market opportunity or strategic fit? ⚠️ Should we include risk factors, competitive analysis, or timelines? 💡 Tip: If unsure, start with a one-pager format and add layers based on audience (investor, internal, partner). 💡 F – Format of Output The Investment Brief should include: 📋 Executive Snapshot: Section Summary Opportunity “$1.5M raise to scale AI-powered legal platform in $30B industry” Market “Targeting legal SMBs — 12M firms globally, growing 8% CAGR” Financials “ARR $720K → $2.4M in 12 mos; 78% gross margin” Ask “Raising $1.5M on $6M pre-money SAFE; 24-month runway” Return “Forecast 4x return in 3 years; exit via acquisition or Series A” 🧠 Optional Sections (Expandable for Decks or Memos): Use of Funds: “70% product/dev, 20% marketing, 10% runway buffer” Key Risks: “Adoption pace, legal compliance — mitigated by 2 pilot customers + expert advisors” Team: “3 ex-Litify engineers + ex-Gartner GTM lead” Competitive Edge: “Real-time NLP layer for contract parsing — 5x faster than incumbents” Timeline: “Deploy funds in Q3, hit $2M ARR by Q2 next year” Output Format: 1-page brief (PDF or Word) Slide format (pitch deck, investor preview) Executive memo or teaser email text Optional: Excel attachment for financial summary 🧠 T – Think Like an Investor + Strategic Buyer ✔️ Is the risk/return ratio attractive and believable? ✔️ Are the numbers plausible and consistent? ✔️ Is the market large, growing, and accessible? ✔️ Is the “why now” and “why this team” crystal clear?
