Investment Thesis
定義
An investment thesis is a fund’s articulated belief about where returns will come from: stages, sectors, geographies, and the specific changes in the world it wants to back.
資金調達における位置づけ
Matching your pitch to a fund’s actual thesis (visible in its recent deals, not just its website) is the single highest-leverage targeting move.
よくある質問
How do I find a fund’s real thesis?
Read its last 10 to 20 investments: stages, sectors, and check sizes reveal the operating thesis better than marketing copy.
What if my startup does not fit any thesis?
It fits some; the work is finding the funds whose portfolio already rhymes with your market rather than converting skeptics.
