If you've raised even a pre-seed check, investors expect monthly updates. Skipping them looks shady. Rushing one at 11pm looks worse.
Section 1
The 10-minute update
- Pull MRR, new/churned logos, cash, and runway from Stripe + your bank
- Export top 3 features shipped from Linear + top 3 metrics from Posthog
- Feed all of it into Claude with your last 3 update templates
- Edit the 'asks' section yourself — specific > generic every time
- Send via Mailchimp or Ramp's update feature, same day each month
Investors skim. A tight 'wins / losses / asks' structure beats a three-page essay every time. Claude is good at the structure; you own the asks.
Code example

Format:

Tone: confident, no corporate hedge, honest about losses.Key terms in this lesson
Good looks like sending on the 1st of every month, getting at least two useful intros per quarter, and investors saying 'your updates are the clearest ones I read.'
