Does anyone have a sample investor teaser / memo they can share (redacted is fine)? I am planning to reach out to investors over the next few weeks to raise last-mile equity and preparing my materials (deck, teaser, etc.).
I am looking for any examples of how to summarize the business, financials, projected investor returns, timelines, etc.
Of course, if anyone wants to be added to my investor contact list - drop your email below or DM for priority access.

1) The Past - Show what the company has done that makes you want to acquire them. Why are they a good business?
2) The Present - What are their current stats? Financial? Customers? Employees? Anything that makes them special? What are their biggest challenges to growth?
3) The Future - What are the existing items that will lead to growth (separate from you and your team)? Who is your team that you're injecting? How are they going to solve what is wrong with the business (there's always something wrong)? What kind of growth can you expect in the next 3-5 years and what are the specific reasons why you think that?
I'll harp on this last point a little. Investors / Lenders do not want to hear the standard startup things here. Those things are, "We're going to disrupt the X industry and grow at 100% a year for the next 10 years!" and "The Y industry is $400 billion globally. If we can only get 1% of marketshare..."
Conversely, they don't here very reasoned, detailed arguments on why the relatively modest growth projected is very real and doable.
