Investor Update Generator

Generate professional monthly/quarterly investor updates that keep stakeholders informed and build trust.

What This Does

Takes your company metrics and turns them into a structured investor update — the kind that gets forwarded to other investors and opens doors for your next round.

How to Use

Tell your agent: "Write my investor update for [month/quarter]"

Provide: - Revenue / MRR / ARR numbers - Key wins and milestones - Challenges and how you're addressing them - Cash position and runway - Key hires or team changes - Asks (intros, advice, resources)

Update Structure

1. TL;DR (3 bullets max)

The headline numbers. If an investor reads nothing else, they get the picture.

2. Key Metrics Dashboard

3. Wins

What went right. Be specific — names, numbers, dates. "Closed Acme Corp ($120K ACV)" beats "signed new enterprise client."

4. Challenges

What's hard right now. Investors respect honesty. Frame as: problem → what you're doing about it → expected timeline.

5. Product & Engineering

Ship log. What launched, what's in progress, what's next. Link to demos if possible.

6. Team

New hires, departures, org changes. Headcount trajectory.

7. Cash & Runway

• Starting cash
• Revenue collected
• Burn
• Ending cash
• Runway at current burn

8. The Ask

Be specific. "Intro to [person] at [company] for [reason]" converts. "Any intros would be great" doesn't.

Writing Rules

1. Lead with metrics — numbers first, narrative second
2. Be honest about bad news — burying it destroys trust faster than the bad news itself
3. Consistent format — same structure every time so investors can scan quickly
4. Send on time — first week of month/quarter, no exceptions
5. Include a forward look — what you expect next period
6. Keep it under 2 pages — respect their time
7. End with a specific ask — every update is an opportunity

Red Flags to Avoid

• Skipping months when things are bad
• Vanity metrics without context (MAU without retention)
• Vague language ("things are going well")
• No mention of cash position
• Asking for nothing (missed opportunity)
