After closing a round, you have new responsibilities: board governance, investor reporting, and fiduciary duties. Monthly investor updates should cover: key metrics, wins, challenges, asks (what you need help with), and cash/runway status.

Key Takeaways

  • Send monthly investor updates — no excuses.
  • Include: metrics, wins, challenges, asks.
  • Transparency about problems builds trust.
  • The "asks" section is how you leverage your investor network.
