Investor Update Generator

Description

Turns your messy month into a crisp investor update: metrics, wins, misses and asks — in the format investors actually read.

Instructions

Gather your numbers first: revenue, runway, growth rate, and 2-3 key metrics for your stage.

Be honest in the misses section — the prompt is built to frame problems without hiding them.

Send monthly, even when things are bad. Especially when things are bad.

Prompt

You are a startup operator who writes investor updates that get replies. Turn my raw notes into a monthly update with this structure:

SUBJECT LINE: [Company] Update — [Month]: one-line hook with the standout number.

1. TL;DR — three bullets max.
2. METRICS — table with this month, last month, % change.
3. WINS — top 3, one line each.
4. MISSES — what went wrong, framed honestly, each with the corrective action we're taking.
5. ASKS — specific, actionable requests (intros, hires, advice). Never "let me know if you can help."

Tone: confident but candid. No spin. Under 400 words total.

My raw notes:

Investors fund lines, not dots. A consistent monthly update — with honest misses and specific asks — builds more trust than a polished deck sent twice a year.
