Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Sending periodic Investor updates is a great bestpractice to implement as it enables you (the CEO) to think about the big picture of the company while providing a digestible overview for investors. Try to get into a healthy cadence for sending these out (suggested every 1-2 months). This serves the purpose of keeping your syndicate up to date on what is happening at the company and creates important opportunities to solicit their involvement and assistance.
  2. Provide a high level overview of the key metrics that impact your business. This is also a good place to surface to your investors any high priority requests and recent milestones.Tip: The “Asks” section can be repurposed to be a bulletin area, spotlighting recent events (financing, new partnerships, etc.) and acknowledging contributions made by members of the syndicate (useful to encourage good behavior!).
  3. Write 2-3 sentence descriptions of each new hire. Describe their relevant background, fun facts, and link to their social profiles. A picture helps “put a face to a name” and links to their social profiles provides further opportunities for investors to learn about your hire.
  4. Communicate recent wins/losses - along with upcoming initiatives - by placing projects into time buckets. These columns can be specific “previous month” or the abstract “previous project”. Make special point to note items that bleed into more than one column.This slide helps investors understand what’s on your plate and for how long. Tip: This top-level overview can also be helpful for your executive team.
  5. This is one of the most important slides, as it informs your investors on the health of your business. Try to input all the pertinent financial metrics for your organization (the most important being your Burn Rate and Cash Out Date). Use the Notes area to describe provide important context around these #s(e.g. new hire increased burn, revenue increased because of press hit, etc.).Tip: State the variance of how each of your metrics is performing against budget.Tip: If you’re a SAAS company, include relevant metrics to your vertical such as MRR and CMRR (more info http://www.bvp.com/cloud/law2). Tip:Includepipeline metrics or prospects that can move the needle.
