Skill: 1kalin/afrexai-investor-update (version 1.0.0)

# Investor Update Generator Generate professional monthly/quarterly investor updates that keep stakeholders informed and build trust. ## What This Does Takes your company metrics and turns them into a structured investor update — the kind that gets forwarded to other investors and opens doors for your next round. ## How to Use Tell your agent: "Write my investor update for [month/quarter]" Provide: - Revenue / MRR / ARR numbers - Key wins and milestones - Challenges and how you're addressing them - Cash position and runway - Key hires or team changes - Asks (intros, advice, resources) ## Update Structure ### 1. TL;DR (3 bullets max) The headline numbers. If an investor reads nothing else, they get the picture. ### 2. Key Metrics Dashboard | Metric | This Period | Last Period | Change | |--------|-----------|------------|--------| | MRR/ARR | | | | | Revenue | | | | | Customers | | | | | Burn Rate | | | | | Runway (months) | | | | | NRR | | | | | CAC Payback | | | | ### 3. Wins What went right. Be specific — names, numbers, dates. "Closed Acme Corp ($120K ACV)" beats "signed new enterprise client." ### 4. Challenges What's hard right now. Investors respect honesty. Frame as: problem → what you're doing about it → expected timeline. ### 5. Product & Engineering Ship log. What launched, what's in progress, what's next. Link to demos if possible. ### 6. Team New hires, departures, org changes. Headcount trajectory. ### 7. Cash & Runway - Starting cash - Revenue collected - Burn - Ending cash - Runway at current burn ### 8. The Ask Be specific. "Intro to [person] at [company] for [reason]" converts. "Any intros would be great" doesn't. ## Frequency Guide | Stage | Frequency | Length | |-------|-----------|--------| | Pre-Seed/Seed | Monthly | 1 page | | Series A | Monthly | 1-2 pages | | Series B+ | Quarterly | 2-3 pages | ## Writing Rules 1. **Lead with metrics** — numbers first, narrative second 2. **Be honest about bad news** — burying it destroys trust faster than the bad news itself 3. **Consistent format** — same structure every time so investors can scan quickly 4. **Send on time** — first week of month/quarter, no exceptions 5. **Include a forward look** — what you expect next period 6. **Keep it under 2 pages** — respect their time 7. **End with a specific ask** — every update is an opportunity ## Red Flags to Avoid - Skipping months when things are bad - Vanity metrics without context (MAU without retention) - Vague language ("things are going well") - No mention of cash position - Asking for nothing (missed opportunity) ## Templates by Stage ### Pre-Seed Monthly (5 min read) ``` Subject: [Company] — [Month] Update: [One-line headline] Hi [First Name], TL;DR: • [Metric 1 headline] • [Metric 2 headline] • [Key win or milestone] [2-3 paragraphs covering metrics, progress, challenges] The Ask: [Specific request] Thanks for your support, [Name] ``` ### Series A Quarterly (10 min read) ``` Subject: [Company] Q[X] 2026 Update — [Headline metric] Executive Summary: [3 bullets] Financial Highlights: [Table] Product: [Ship log] Go-to-Market: [Pipeline, wins, losses] Team: [Changes, hiring plan] Outlook: [Next quarter targets] Board Items: [Decisions needed] Asks: [Specific requests with context] ``` ## Benchmarks (2026) | Metric | Bottom Quartile | Median | Top Quartile | |--------|----------------|--------|--------------| | MoM Growth (Seed) | <5% | 10-15% | >20% | | Net Revenue Retention | <90% | 100-110% | >130% | | Burn Multiple | >3x | 1.5-2x | <1x | | CAC Payback | >18mo | 12mo | <6mo | | Logo Churn | >5%/mo | 2-3%/mo | <1%/mo | --- *Need the full context for your industry?
