FAQ
What information do you need from me to get started?
The more context you share upfront, the sharper the output. At minimum, a pitch deck or company overview, any existing financials, and a brief on what the document will be used for, eg. internal investment decision, fund review, or LP conversation. We start with a short intake call.
Have you written real investment documents before, or is this template-based work?
These are not templates; my day-to-day consists of investment work, including writing deal memos, investment briefs, and executive summaries. What I produce here follows the same structure and standard I use when preparing documents for actual investment decisions.
Can you write about ventures or markets outside Africa?
Yes. My primary expertise is in African markets, which is where my analysis tends to be most detailed and grounded. That said, the frameworks I use (market sizing, competitive analysis, financial assessment, risk evaluation) are universal. Do reach out to confirm even if your venture is not African.
What if I need changes after delivery?
Each package includes either one or two revision rounds depending on the tier selected. A revision covers substantive edits (adjusting the framing, adding a section, or incorporating new information you share), not a full rewrite or a change in scope. We can discuss mid-project adjustments prior.
Is my information kept confidential?
Completely. Everything you share (financials, business details, investor materials) stays strictly between us. I do not share, reference, or publish client work in any form. If you would like a non-disclosure agreement before we begin, I am happy to sign one.
