# What is Investment Memo?

The written case for an investment: the company, the market, the risks, the terms and why now. A partnership decides on it, and writing it makes the investor state the reasoning before any money moves.

## In real work

Hana's investment memo on the freight-audit startup ran four pages and gave a full page to the risks, which the partners discussed first.

## How is this different from Googling it?

Google gives a definition. Prompthaus pairs each term with how it shows up in standups, PRs, prompts, and design reviews. Then it quizzes you until the word sticks. One term a day on iPhone.
