Minimum Information an Investor Should Receive

After closing an investment round, the startup should set up a monthly report to the investors.

Here’s a list of information to send an investor:

Customer wins — list out key sales successes. Celebrate every win.

Key metrics — show the core 1-3 metrics that drive your business.

Cash on hand — show the cash balance and runway based on current burn.

Employee status — show changes and open positions you are trying to fill.

Challenges — include a short list of challenges you currently face and what help you need.

Set up a template so you maintain the format and make the report easy to build each time.

Set expectations with the investors about the frequency — monthly, quarterly, or other.

Include a set of financials showing the detailed picture so investors can find answers to detailed questions about the numbers.
