What
What is a Venture Capital One Pager?
Tl;dr: It’s a one page overview of your Venture Capital (“VC”) fund that you send to Limited Partners (“LPs”) who are the investors that fund VCs
Fundraising is a pain in the ass and for VCs it’s even worse. Founders complain about raising $2m… try raising $100m.
Whether you raising your first fund or are an experienced manager, you always need to make a great first impression with new LPs. The first piece of information you will use to interact with LPs will often be your one-pager.
Just like you, LPs get pitched all the time from VCs. You need to get their attention and help them triage if you are what they are interested in. To do so, it is critical your one-pager is concise, compelling, and thorough.
It may feel as though a one-pager doesn’t share everything a VC needs to know, and that’s absolutely right! That is exactly the point. Your one-pager has only one objective, to get a meeting. The goal of your first meeting is to get another meeting. It’s the same as startups. LPs only need core information to get hooked and move the process forward. If you follow these guidelines and work to augment the content and presentation of your document, you will be on your way towards creating an LP ready one-pager that highlights the differentiating factors of your fund in a clear, space-efficient manner.

I have feedback to improve
How do I open the file?
When you press download in an email from me, it normally saves to your Downloads folder.
So go there first to find the file.
I normally have to ZIP the file so it will work with SaaS automation systems.
So get WinZip, WinRAR, or use whatever Mac/PC offers these days. Unzip the file (Right click and press “uncompress” etc). If you don’t know how to do this, then use Google.
Once you uncompress, the ZIP file will remain, and you will see a new file (sort the download folder by date modified if confused).
I assure you that everything I provide works, so if you can’t access it, it’s a ‘you’ problem.
Can I sell / share your tools?
No.
You can share a link to this page, which would be much appreciated!
Can I share your tools on social media?
Please share the link to this page. It would be super-appreciated, but only if you like it!
If you don’t like it, then leave a comment or shoot me an email first so I can take your feedback on board first and see if I can improve!
