SlideShare: Edtech Thesis

Link to my September 2016 Presentation

As 2016 closes, I will share insights associated with the methodology and outcomes of my 3 (edtech, fintech, real estate tech) updated investment theses. The goals of “Notes on a Thesis” are to 1) present my research, 2) connect with relevant founders, 3) cultivate a discussion around the thesis, and 4) provide templates for aspiring VCs.

It’s the end of the year and that means it is the giving season. In the spirit of the holidays, I have shared my point of view in my target verticals (edtech, fintech, and real estate tech) and the methodology I used to build investment thesis presentations. But now is the time to share deliverables that I used to have thoughtful informational and traditional interviews with VC firms. I am not suggesting that this is the only format you need but hopefully, it will provide aspiring VCs with some guidance on how to start.

In Part 3 of 3, I wanted to share my September 2016 personal investment thesis for the early stage edtech market. Enjoy below!
