Submission Guidelines
- We do not accept unsolicited calls or emails regarding business plans. Submit plans only in PDF deck form.
- We do not accept business proposals related to cannabis, blockchain, or "cryptocurrency" investments, as we do not believe in these sectors.
- We do not sign NDAs Why?
We Don't
Sign NDAs
Our reputation is predicated upon our maintaining strict confidentiality. The foundation of a successful relationship between a venture investor and entrepreneur hinges on trust and integrity.
Hedgewood will not sign an NDA until a term sheet is signed and in-depth due diligence is about to begin, so do not submit any information or other materials that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.
Because of the large number of business plans and related materials that we review, and the similarity of many such plans and materials, we cannot accept responsibility for protecting against misuse or disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information or other materials in the absence of our express written agreement to do so.
