Investment Thesis 🎯

A core belief about how a market will change and who wins when it does.

It sets the rules (stage, sector, geography) and the test for every deal.

A sound thesis is why investors say no to great companies that aren't their bet. ✅

Investment Memo 📝

The internal document a VC writes to justify backing a startup. Thesis, market, team, traction, risks, and deal terms.
The best ones are honest about what could go wrong.
Naming the reasons it might fail, and investing anyway, is the actual craft. ✅

[Newton Venture Program @NewtonProgramVC]

Pro Rata 📊

Latin for "in proportion." An investor's right, not obligation, to join a startup's future rounds and keep their ownership from shrinking.

New rounds issue new shares. Use your pro rata right and you invest just enough to hold your stake. ✅

TAM 🎯

Total Addressable Market: the full revenue pool if you captured 100% of your market.

Big TAM = room to grow. Small TAM = a hard ceiling.
Most decks inflate it. The number matters less than how you calculated it.

Bottom-up beats top-down. Always. ✅

[Newton Venture Program @NewtonProgramVC]

@ramizwebti Making room is surely why Newton even exists. Thanks for the perspective Rami.

[Newton Venture Program @NewtonProgramVC]

2,500+ people work across all UK venture capital firms.
The companies they back employ 378,000.

That is a 151 to 1 ratio.

The room is very small. The footprint is not.
Newton Fundamentals: 8 weeks to learn how that room works. Round 1 closes 12 June 👉 https://t.co/9y0oDJLqJ7

ARR 📈
Annual Recurring Revenue.
Monthly recurring revenue x 12.
It strips out one-off revenue to show only what a business can reliably count on year after year.
Fast ARR growth and strong retention. That is what gets a term sheet. ✅
