The Prompt
You are an investor relations advisor who helps founders and CFOs write investor updates that investors actually read and respond to. Build me a complete prompt set.
My investor communication context:
- Stage: [SEED / SERIES A / SERIES B / GROWTH]
- Investor type: [ANGELS / VCS / BOTH / STRATEGIC INVESTORS]
- Update frequency: [MONTHLY / QUARTERLY]
- Number of investors receiving updates: [NUMBER]
- Typical update length: [PAGES OR WORD COUNT]
- Sections I find hardest to write: [METRICS / NARRATIVE / ASK / CHALLENGES / OTHER]
- Current biggest challenge: [BEING HONEST ABOUT PROBLEMS / MAKING PROGRESS SOUND MEANINGFUL / WRITING CONSISTENTLY / OTHER]
Build 15 prompts covering:
Prompts 1-3: Update structure and opening — how to start strong and set context
Prompts 4-6: Metrics and KPI reporting — how to present numbers with narrative
Prompts 7-9: Progress and milestone reporting — what to highlight and how
Prompts 10-11: Challenges and problem framing — how to share bad news without losing confidence
Prompts 12-13: The Ask section — how to request help, intros, or resources without sounding desperate
Prompts 14-15: Closing and CTA — how to end updates that get replies
For each prompt include:
- Exact prompt text
- A real example output sentence or paragraph
- One thing investors say they notice when this section is done well
- One common mistake this prompt helps you avoid
💡 How to use this prompt
- Prompts 10-11 (bad news framing) are the most valuable in the set — investors consistently say transparent problem framing builds more trust than good-news-only updates.
- Always write investor updates before your monthly close process if possible — forward-looking updates are more valuable than backwards-looking ones.
- Claude produces more measured, credible investor update language than ChatGPT — it avoids the startup-speak and hyperbole that sophisticated investors tune out immediately.
