Subject: [Company] update, [Month Year]

Hi all,

TL;DR

[Two or three lines: the headline of the month, good and bad.]

Metrics

Revenue: [amount] ([+/-x% vs last month])

Growth: [the metric you steer by] ([trend])

Burn: [amount/mo] · Runway: [months]

[One more metric only if it changed materially]

Wins

• [Shipped, signed, hired: 2-4 bullets with specifics]

Lowlights

• [What went worse than planned, said plainly, with what you’re doing about it. This section is where trust is built.]

Product & team

[2-3 lines: what shipped, who joined or left.]

Asks

• [Specific, answerable requests: an intro to X, a candidate for Y, advice on Z. Investors consistently say this is the section they can actually help with, and the one founders forget.]

Thanks, as ever, for the support.
