Why it works

Built so the startup investor update call ends on time, with everyone in it.

  • Updates stay short

    15 minutes of updates with a visible clock. In a video call the speaker is spotlighted and the room is muted, so nobody talks over them.

  • A vote the whole room sees

    One tap each on a phone, live bars on the screen. A tick shows who has voted, never what they chose.

  • It ends in a decision

    Capture the decision and its owner with one click while it's said. It lands in the summary, word for word.

  • Wraps up on time

    Decisions and actions are read back, the summary is already written, and a finish on time earns the confetti.

How to run it

  1. 1Decide whether a call is needed at all; investor updates are usually written, not a meeting.
  2. 2Open with metrics and KPIs before any narrative.
  3. 3Put targeted, specific asks near the top and get an investor to take each one.
  4. 4Keep the recap to highlights and lowlights, and cut anything non-essential.

Questions about the startup investor update call

What should an investor update include?
Metrics and KPIs first, targeted asks near the top, and a short recap of highlights and lowlights, per YC partner Aaron Harris as quoted by Visible.
Should an investor update be a meeting?
Usually it is written. If you run it live, keep the same order and use the time to get investors to take on your asks.
