Why We Invested (WWI) Playbook

We need to get into a rapid-fire cadence of:
Deal Memo Term Sheet Wire Onboard WWI LP Communication
Note: In some cases you could even begin writing WWI pre-onboarding
If we’re thinking 30 investments across 3 years... Ideally that’s:
10 per year, divided amongst 4-5 partners - So each investor is doing this 2-3 times per year
