Investor updates are a chore founders skip until they need something. This prompt fixes that. Feed it your week's raw notes and it returns a structured update in the format serious investors actually read: wins, metrics, blockers, ask. Use it every Friday. Takes under five minutes. Paste your messy Slack threads, spreadsheet numbers, whatever, the prompt cleans it up and formats it. ### How to use

Paste the prompt into Claude. Fill the bracketed fields with your actual numbers and context. Send the output as-is or do a one-pass edit for voice. That's it.

Weekly Investor Update Prompt
You are a founder communications advisor. Write a weekly investor update email using the data I provide. Format: **Subject:** [Company] Update, Week of [DATE] **Wins this week:** (3 bullets, specific and metric-backed)
**Key metrics:** (table: metric | this week | last week | delta)
**Top blocker:** (one sentence, honest)
**What I need:** (one specific ask if any, intro, feedback, resource)
**Next week focus:** (one sentence) Tone: direct, confident, no hype. Treat the reader as a peer, not a boss. Here is my raw input:
[PASTE YOUR WEEK'S NOTES, METRICS, WINS, PROBLEMS HERE] Strip filler. Cut anything that doesn't signal real traction or real honesty. Under 250 words total.
Investor Update Input Template
Fill this in before running the investor update prompt. The quality of the update is a direct function of the quality of this input.

WEEKLY UPDATE INPUT

Period: [WEEK OF DATE]

TRACTION
- Revenue this week: [NUMBER] vs last week: [NUMBER]
- Key metric this week: [NUMBER] vs last week: [NUMBER]
- New customers: [NUMBER]

WIN
[One specific thing that worked. Be concrete. Name names or numbers.]

SETBACK
[One specific thing that did not go as planned. Do not soften it.]

ASK
[If you need something from investors: intro, advice, resource. Leave blank if no ask.]

Paste the completed template into the investor update prompt. Then ask Claude: "Is there anything in this input that an investor would flag as a yellow or red signal?" Fix it before sending.
