Hi Team,

I'm sending along a draft of our expanded "About Catalyze Ventures" document. I've played with the wording the the "Mission" section and also added a new "Expertise Section". Anything and everything is open to edit!!

If at all possible, it would be amazing if you both could review this document and send out your edits in track changes this weekend. 

I'd like to translate the document asap and send it to a native Spanish speaker friend for review before sending it along to SADE Group this coming week.

Thanks!
Sarah

Hello again,

I forgot to mention that I LOVED re-reading each of our vision exercise documents. I'm attaching them here for your reference again as well….are there additional ways we can incorporate the contents of these vision documents into the "About Catalyze Ventures" document I just sent along?

Cheers,
Sarah

Hi team,

Sarah, this is looking really good! I had only a few edits to make - finessing some of the language in our bios, also clarifying Art's role currently consulting for the WB. Also, regarding the advising network - this seems cool. Do we have connections in all these places? That's great.

Good morning,

Thanks Michael! 

Art, can you add a few more organizations/companies to this list where you have contacts as well?

I have at least one contact I can reach out to if questions arise in each of the following organizations…"WTO SPS Secretariat, Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), World Bank, SGS, QAI, Rabobank, Global Aquaculture Alliance, and others."

Thanks!
Sarah

Hi Art,

Awesome, thanks! I'm going to start translating the document this afternoon; are there any changes or additions you'd like to make immediately? 

(Of course the document  can always be modified before I send it to Fernando, but the more final the version I'm working with for the translation the better.)

Thanks!
Sarah
