Investment Thesis π―
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. β

Pro Rata π
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. β

TAM π―
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. β
