Investor communication
Investor-facing notes, updates, intros, diligence answers, and follow-ups that can move a decision.
The investor update you send a prospect is a different document
Prospects, diligence investors, and passed investors need different updates. One broadcast leaves round momentum on the table.
Investor communicationHow to prevent intro collisions during a fundraise
Two warm paths to the same investor do not double your odds. They create noise unless one owner controls the path.
Investor communicationThe intro went nowhere because context was missing
Warm intros stall when the forwarded blurb transfers a name but not the context an investor needs to say yes.
Investor communicationWhy investors say "keep us posted"
"Keep us posted" can mean four different things, and each signal needs a different cadence.
Investor communicationHow to ask an investor for intros after a pass
A pass can still create a path if the intro ask matches the reason they passed.
Investor communicationThe silent investor is not one thing
Investor silence has different causes, and each one needs a different follow-up move.
Investor communicationThe founder note investors can forward internally
The investor you email is usually a router, so the note has to survive the partner room without being rewritten.
Investor communicationThe diligence answer should be shorter than the question
A long diligence answer usually means the founder has not decided what the real answer is.
Investor communicationThe intro request that actually gets forwarded
A warm intro request works when the connector can forward it without writing a single original word.
Investor communicationHow to write follow-ups that add momentum
A fundraising follow-up should deliver one new input to an investor's decision, not ask for attention.
