What You Should Know About Investor Updates

A lot of founders think investor updates are a chore, so they’ll either issue investor updates begrudgingly or only when the need arises, i.e., when the next investment round is on the horizon, and they want to get their investors motivated again.

That’s entirely the wrong attitude to take about the value of investor updates, although it’s probably because many founders don’t think of investors as partners whose financial support enables them to pursue their dreams. Instead, they see investors as a necessary evil and believe that keeping investors updated with reports and analyses is an inefficient use of their time. Those are the founders who think their energies will be much better spent focused on the development and implementation of the product or service their investors have invested in, not wasting valuable energy keeping their investors updated on progress. It’s a very short-sighted view, and in our experience, they may eventually come to regret it.

Don’t be one of those founders.
