Just wanted to say thank you for that one page overview PPT I downloaded earlier today. It was ridiculously helpful - the kind of thing you HOPE might be available online but never is. Looking forward to digging into the rest of your stuff.

I wanted to let you know that your site helped me so much as a VC. Often I had to revisit some basic concepts at work and your toolkits are also solid in getting entrepreneurs up to speed. Just wanted to say thanks.

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.

who

Who Needs a VC One Pager Template?

Everyone in startup-related land needs to know about this topic. So whether you are a founder, investor or advisor, why not have a little play with this!

First-time Funds

I’m not a believer that a one pager is required, but can it hurt?

No one knows what you can do yet (even if you did angel investments). More material, that is well done can help to make you look professional.

If you are capable, you can make one quickly (or reach out to me), so why not?

This will not replace having to make a deck (which I can help with too), but if you make a decent deck, making this one-pager can also help condense your thoughts.

 

Established VC Funds

Unless you are a big name firm, you know that raising money from institutional managers etc is never easy.

Some LPs might expect a one pager, especially if they have not met with you yet, so why not get one done?

I know investors never publicly admit they don’t know things, but privately they need help. Reach out to me if you need help making yours.

Fund Advisors

Your clients might need help with the material. You can use mine!

Alternatively, happy to discuss if I can help you with your clients’ needs.

I can assist with:

  • One pager (obviously)
  • Pitch deck
  • Reviewing investment thesis
  • Other strategies, such as portfolio construction, active approach to value add etc.

Details

What Does the One Pager Look Like?

It’s a one page document… but here are a few images to have a little gander for your viewing pleasure.

Need

Why Do You Need a Venture Capital One Pager Template?

  1. 1

    Some Investors Will Ask For One

    • Like VCs, LPs have their own way of working
    • Easier to have one to hand in case you need it
  2. 2

    Share Less Information When Doing General Outreach

    • You might not want to send your deck to everyone
    • No stress to share with anyone
  3. 3

    Easy to Share With Your Network

    • You will ask (or some will offer) to make intros and not all people may be close to you (yet)
    • Easy to send to anyone in your network whilst respecting their time
  4. 4

    First step in Your Funnel

    • I don’t like one pagers for startups
    • One pager is more normal when raising a fund (more like Investment Banking mentality)
    • You can use it to escalate commitment

features

What is in the One Pager Template?

These are some of the features in the model.

PowerPoint Template

  • You don’t need a designer
  • It’s easy to replace images (resize to match my design)
  • Can type over text / change headers to meet your need

Framework

This is based on real VC one pagers

  • This was raised with
  • I did the thinking for you
  • Use what I provided or change if you know better

Forcing Function

People are exhausting! They refuse to keep things simple

  • I maxed font sizes for space and legibility
  • Your overview has a limit to space, so that’s what you get!
  • You have so many bullets!

Need

Why is My Tool Worth Getting

    I Make Cool Things (and am capable)

    • I know about VC fundraising and this is from proven material
    • This is easy to use and just get it done
    • You’ll see the attention to detail and actual thought put into what I gift you (so you aren’t wasting your time)
  2. 2

    My Free Tools Are Better Than What Some Charge For

    • There is no one pager on the internet to download like this
    • I offer consulting to make a one pager for/with you, so here is an example
  3. 3

    I Don’t Have a Hardcore Marketing Funnel

    • I make tools to actually help
    • You aren’t going to be hounded with emails to get you to buy things
    • Whilst I do sell some stuff, seeing the quality I give for free is way better marketing than using fancy words to convince you

People like videos, so when I can (face it) I make some.

This doesn’t really need a video, but I might make one in future if enough people request it in the comments!

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!
