Why Do You Need to Write Them?

Writing investment memos is about 50% of a VC analyst/associate’s job in order to do as much diligence on a potential investment as you can

Memos are done if you like a startup you chatted with

Presented at a VC firm’s Investment Committee Meeting where Partners/Principals review

Or if you run a syndicate, written to convince LPs/angel investors on why they should invest in the company you are syndicating
