Write your complete investor one-pager

River's Investor One-Pager Writer creates perfect single-page investment summaries that get you meetings. You provide traction, team, and ask details, and the AI writes a complete one-pager with company overview, problem and solution, traction with specific metrics, market opportunity, business model, team highlights, and investment ask. Whether you're doing warm intros, cold outreach, or following up after meetings, this one-pager gives investors everything they need to decide on a meeting.

Unlike verbose summaries, we create dense, metrics-heavy one-pagers that fit on a single page. The AI front-loads the most impressive metrics, uses bullet points for scannability, includes only information that drives meeting decisions, emphasizes momentum and traction, and maintains the confident, concise tone investors expect. You get a one-pager that busy investors can read in 60 seconds and immediately understand your opportunity.

This tool is perfect for all fundraising founders needing meeting materials, cold outreach to angels or VCs, warm intro follow-ups, or conference/demo day summaries. If you have a full pitch deck but need something shorter for initial conversations, this tool helps. Use it when you need a single page that earns you a meeting without overwhelming busy investors with information.

What Makes One-Pagers Win Meetings

Winning one-pagers pack maximum signal into minimum space. The best one-pagers lead with traction numbers in the first sentence, explain the business in 2-3 clear bullets, show market opportunity concisely, prove the team can execute, and make the ask crystal clear. Weak one-pagers bury traction, stay vague about metrics, waste space on obvious information, or fail to make a specific ask. Investors see 50+ deals per week. Your one-pager has 60 seconds to earn a meeting. Make every sentence count.

Effective one-pager structure follows a proven hierarchy. Open with company description and strongest traction metric. Immediately establish credibility. Then problem/solution (2-3 bullets each). Market opportunity (TAM, specific focus). Business model (how you make money). Team (relevant backgrounds only). Traction details (growth, customers, revenue). Finally, the ask (amount, use, milestone). This structure lets investors scan top-to-bottom and get progressively more interested. Random order confuses. Logical hierarchy persuades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much detail should I include vs my full pitch deck?

One-pagers are high-level summaries for meeting decisions, not deep dives. Include enough to show traction, market, and team credibility, but not every detail. Think: what's the minimum info needed for an investor to decide 'I want a meeting'? That's what goes on the one-pager. Save product details, competitive analysis depth, and granular financials for the deck. One-pager = interest generator. Deck = deep evaluation. Don't try to cram your entire deck onto one page. Hit the highlights that drive meeting requests.

Should traction metrics be more prominent than the idea?

Absolutely. Investors invest in traction and momentum, not ideas. Lead with your strongest traction metric in the first sentence. If you're growing 50% month-over-month, that goes at the top. If you have $100K MRR, open with that. Ideas are cheap. Execution is valuable. Your one-pager should make an investor think 'this is working and growing fast' within 3 seconds. Bury the traction and you'll never get read. Front-load your proof that this is a rocket ship, then explain what the rocket ship does.

Can I use this for cold outreach or just warm intros?

Both, but adjust your email. For warm intros, the one-pager can be comprehensive because the intro email already pre-sold you. For cold outreach, pair the one-pager with a very short email (3-4 sentences) that teases one impressive fact and links to the attached one-pager. Don't expect cold investors to read a full page without context. Earn their attention with a punchy email, then the one-pager provides depth. Warm intros can send the one-pager directly because trust is established. Adapt your approach to the relationship.

Should I include financial projections?

Only if you have strong historical financials to anchor them. Early-stage projections are usually ignored because they're always wrong. If you're pre-revenue or under $50K MRR, skip projections. Focus on actual traction and near-term milestones. If you're at $500K+ ARR with proven unit economics, brief projections showing path to $5M-$10M ARR can be valuable. But keep them simple (one line: 'On track for $2M ARR by end of year'). Never include detailed 5-year projections on a one-pager. They take space and add no credibility.

How do I make my one-pager stand out from hundreds others?

Lead with your most impressive, specific metric. 'Growing 80% MoM' stands out. 'Strong traction' doesn't. Use concrete numbers everywhere (12 customers, $45K MRR, 40% margins). Keep formatting clean and scannable (bullets, white space, bold key numbers). Make your one-line description crystal clear (not clever or vague). Have an impressive team (previous exits, domain expertise). Most one-pagers are vague and generic. Yours will stand out by being specific, metrics-heavy, and clear. Substance beats design. Traction beats storytelling.
