This guide is designed to be shared as-is, or adapted to fit your startup’s stage, voice, and investor base. Here are a few ways you might use it:
DIY investor relations: Use it to write your updates when you don’t have a comms lead or investor manager on the team.
Founder alignment: Share it with your co-founders or ops lead so everyone’s on the same page about what good updates look like.
