investor-update-writer

Drafts a monthly or quarterly investor update - TL;DR, consistent metric block (revenue, growth rate, burn, runway), highlights, honest lowlights, a specific ask, and next-period priorities - in a repeatable one-screen format. Use when someone asks "write my investor update", "what should go in my monthly update", "how do I tell investors about a bad month", or when a founder is due to report to their cap table. Do NOT use for updates to internal teams, executives, or non-investor stakeholders - use stakeholder-update instead. Do NOT use for crafting the fundraising story for new investors - use fundraising-narrative instead.

# Investor Update Writer

Investor updates compound: a founder who sends an honest, consistent update every month builds the trust that makes the next round, the hard intro, and the bad-news conversation easier. The costly failure this skill prevents is the silent founder - updates that stop when metrics dip, which investors read (correctly) as a distress signal, and updates so padded with hype that the one real ask gets skimmed past.

## Operating procedure

Write in this order because the TL;DR is a compression of everything else - draft it last even though it appears first.

### Step 1: Gather inputs

Collect before drafting. Label estimates as estimates in the update itself.

1. Cadence and audience: monthly is the default for pre-Series B; quarterly acceptable after. Same recipients every time.
2. The metric set (see Step 2) with current and prior-period values.
