Frequently asked questions
What should a monthly investor update include?+
A good update leads with key metrics and the trend, then a short narrative of wins and challenges, specific asks where investors can help, key hires or changes, and your cash position and runway. Keep it concise and consistent month to month.
How often should I send investor updates?+
Monthly is the standard cadence for early-stage startups. Consistency is the point: investors who get regular updates stay engaged, make better introductions, and are far easier to go back to when you raise the next round.
Should I share bad news with investors?+
Yes, briefly and with a plan. Investors expect challenges and respond better to honesty than to silence or spin. A clear lowlight plus what you are doing about it builds trust and often surfaces help you would not have asked for.
