Conviction for Harbor Street Ventures

27 / 100

De-risking 0.00, thesis fit 0.90, traction 0.00

Why you passed

“no real revenue yet, unclear who ends up paying for evals”

Sam Ortiz's note, word for word

  • Too early on revenue

    Cleared by: a new equity raise (news or form d)

    No coverage

What changed

No public news since the pass. That means no coverage, not a no. A short check-in note is the best next step.

Re-engagement note

Nothing is sent without your approval

No objection is resolved yet, so this draft is a light check-in rather than a revisit.

Approving sets the Affinity status to Re-engage and files the memo to the fund's Roundtable workspace. No email is sent.
