Monthly investor update

When you need to write a clear, honest monthly update that builds investor trust over time.

Works best in: Claude

Write a monthly investor update for {{company name}}.

Period: {{month + year}}
Revenue: {{$ amount}} vs {{$ prior month}}, {{%}} growth
Key wins: {{2-3 specific things that went well, with numbers}}
Key challenge: {{the main thing that didn't go to plan}}
Cash: {{$}} | Runway: {{months}}
Asks: {{what you need from investors — intros, advice, connections}}
Next 30-day focus: {{what you're working on}}

Update should:
- Open with the headline metric — don't bury it
- Be honest about the challenge (one honest paragraph beats three defensive sentences)
- Be 400-600 words — investors get too many long ones
- Close with the single most important ask this month

Do not write: "We're pleased to report" / "It's been a whirlwind month" / "Exciting times ahead."

Tip: Works best when you fill in real numbers before pasting. Vague inputs produce vague investor updates.
