{"skill":{"slug":"afrexai-investor-update","displayName":"Investor Update","summary":"Generate concise, honest monthly or quarterly investor updates from your company metrics, milestones, challenges, cash status, and specific asks to build tru...","description":"# Investor Update Generator\n\nGenerate professional monthly/quarterly investor updates that keep stakeholders informed and build trust.\n\n## What This Does\n\nTakes 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.\n\n## How to Use\n\nTell your agent: \"Write my investor update for [month/quarter]\"\n\nProvide:\n- Revenue / MRR / ARR numbers\n- Key wins and milestones\n- Challenges and how you're addressing them\n- Cash position and runway\n- Key hires or team changes\n- Asks (intros, advice, resources)\n\n## Update Structure\n\n### 1. TL;DR (3 bullets max)\nThe headline numbers. If an investor reads nothing else, they get the picture.\n\n### 2. Key Metrics Dashboard\n\n| Metric | This Period | Last Period | Change |\n|--------|-----------|------------|--------|\n| MRR/ARR | | | |\n| Revenue | | | |\n| Customers | | | |\n| Burn Rate | | | |\n| Runway (months) | | | |\n| NRR | | | |\n| CAC Payback | | | |\n\n### 3. Wins\nWhat went right. Be specific — names, numbers, dates. \"Closed Acme Corp ($120K ACV)\" beats \"signed new enterprise client.\"\n\n### 4. Challenges\nWhat's hard right now. Investors respect honesty. Frame as: problem → what you're doing about it → expected timeline.\n\n### 5. Product & Engineering\nShip log. What launched, what's in progress, what's next. Link to demos if possible.\n\n### 6. Team\nNew hires, departures, org changes. Headcount trajectory.\n\n### 7. Cash & Runway\n- Starting cash\n- Revenue collected\n- Burn\n- Ending cash\n- Runway at current burn\n\n### 8. The Ask\nBe specific. \"Intro to [person] at [company] for [reason]\" converts. \"Any intros would be great\" doesn't.\n\n## Frequency Guide\n\n| Stage | Frequency | Length |\n|-------|-----------|--------|\n| Pre-Seed/Seed | Monthly | 1 page |\n| Series A | Monthly | 1-2 pages |\n| Series B+ | Quarterly | 2-3 pages |\n\n## Writing Rules\n\n1. **Lead with metrics** — numbers first, narrative second\n2. **Be honest about bad news** — burying it destroys trust faster than the bad news itself\n3. **Consistent format** — same structure every time so investors can scan quickly\n4. **Send on time** — first week of month/quarter, no exceptions\n5. **Include a forward look** — what you expect next period\n6. **Keep it under 2 pages** — respect their time\n7. **End with a specific ask** — every update is an opportunity\n\n## Red Flags to Avoid\n\n- Skipping months when things are bad\n- Vanity metrics without context (MAU without retention)\n- Vague language (\"things are going well\")\n- No mention of cash position\n- Asking for nothing (missed opportunity)\n\n## Templates by Stage\n\n### Pre-Seed Monthly (5 min read)\n```\nSubject: [Company] — [Month] Update: [One-line headline]\n\nHi [First Name],\n\nTL;DR:\n• [Metric 1 headline]\n• [Metric 2 headline]  \n• [Key win or milestone]\n\n[2-3 paragraphs covering metrics, progress, challenges]\n\nThe Ask: [Specific request]\n\nThanks for your support,\n[Name]\n```\n\n### Series A Quarterly (10 min read)\n```\nSubject: [Company] Q[X] 2026 Update — [Headline metric]\n\nExecutive Summary: [3 bullets]\n\nFinancial Highlights: [Table]\n\nProduct: [Ship log]\n\nGo-to-Market: [Pipeline, wins, losses]\n\nTeam: [Changes, hiring plan]\n\nOutlook: [Next quarter targets]\n\nBoard Items: [Decisions needed]\n\nAsks: [Specific requests with context]\n```\n\n## Benchmarks (2026)\n\n| Metric | Bottom Quartile | Median | Top Quartile |\n|--------|----------------|--------|--------------|\n| MoM Growth (Seed) | <5% | 10-15% | >20% |\n| Net Revenue Retention | <90% | 100-110% | >130% |\n| Burn Multiple | >3x | 1.5-2x | <1x |\n| CAC Payback | >18mo | 12mo | <6mo |\n| Logo Churn | >5%/mo | 2-3%/mo | <1%/mo |\n\n---\n\n*Need the full context for your industry?
