Second Read

Weighing a manager right now? The Second Read is a free second opinion on one emerging or first-time venture manager you are considering. It is for family offices, foundations, endowments, funds of funds and advisers.

What you receive

A short written read from Dr. Itzel Moncada covering whether the manager's plan holds together (fund size, number of companies, check size, ownership, reserves and team capacity), what the materials do and do not show, and the questions we would ask on your next call with them. It is a second opinion to inform your own judgment, not a recommendation to invest.

What we need

Your name, your organization, your email, the manager or fund name, and, if you have it, the deck or summary they shared with you. Anything you send is kept confidential and used only to prepare your read.

The link opens an email to Dr. Itzel Moncada with three short prompts filled in. Attach the deck if you have it, and you will hear back by email.

What happens next

We reply by email to confirm we have what we need. If the read is useful and you want to go further, here is how we work with allocators. If not, the read is yours to keep.

If the link does not open your email app, write to itzel@colibristrategies.com with the manager's name.
