## Frequently asked questions

### What should a monthly investor update include?

A strong investor update covers: key metrics (MRR, runway, team size), wins since last update, current challenges, specific asks for investor help, and next month's targets. Keep it under 2 pages — investors read short updates.

### How often should founders send investor updates?

Monthly for early-stage startups. Even when news is bad — especially when news is bad. Investors who are surprised by bad news lose trust. Investors who hear about challenges early can help.

### Is this investor update template free?

Yes — free to use. Share your metrics and the AI will format a clean, professional update.
