Monthly Investor Update Template and Prompt

Best Practices

Regular investor updates are crucial for early-stage startups. Experts recommend a monthly cadence as the “sweet spot” – it keeps investors informed and engaged without overwhelming them.

(For example, the SaaS updates emphasized MRR/ARR growth and customer wins, a hardware update reported product development milestones and pilot results, and AI/infra updates highlighted usage and technical milestones – different metrics, but all fitting the same basic structure.)
