When LPs request a reference, they typically want the name and email rather than a reference letter.

However, if you do plan on having a formal reference letter, ideally you want a founder and a co-investor documenting how you helped a startup be successful.

Hm... the sprint for VC Lab assigns us to collect reference letters.  Is that still applicable?
