Industry Decks

Pre-seed Investing & Risk

(2020) At the Notation annual LP meeting this past fall, we gave a short talk on how we think about pre-seed investing & risk, and why we think there’s a particularly interesting risk versus reward tradeoff at this stage.
Technology.

Blockchain Participation

2019 Annual Meeting Presentation

Notation hosted its second annual LP meeting a couple months ago, and as usual, we published our deck. In addition to the typical annual meeting topics such as fund performance and portfolio company reviews, we decided to do a few deep dives into specific areas of current interest. In particular, we’ve been investing and participating in the Blockchain space for a few years now. We have been deeply involved at the earliest stages with Livepeer, Bison Trails, Arwen and others - so we figured it might be interesting to go deep on what ‘blockchain participation’ really means to us from a venture perspective.
