+ # focal-vc — the firm as a terminal card
2
+
3
+ ```
4
+ npx focal-vc # the card: thesis, stats, portfolio, team, how to pitch
5
+ npx focal-vc pitch # just the pitch instructions
6
+ ```
7
+
8
+ `card.txt` is regenerated from the live site data on every `build.py` run,
9
+ so the portfolio and stats stay current. After a meaningful content change,
10
+ bump the version and republish so founders get the fresh card.
11
+
12
+ ## Publishing (one-time setup, then ~30 seconds per release)
13
+
14
+ 1. Create a free account at npmjs.com (suggest a shared `focal-vc` team account).
15
+ 2. In a terminal:
16
+ ```
17
+ cd ~/focal-team-claude-projects/focal-landing/npx-focal
18
+ npm login # once per machine
19
+ npm publish --access public
20
+ ```
21
+ 3. Test it worked: `npx focal-vc@latest`
22
+
23
+ To release an update later: run `python3 build.py` (refreshes card.txt),
24
+ bump `"version"` in package.json (1.0.0 → 1.0.1), and `npm publish` again.
