Write the weekly investor update
Claude drafts a weekly investor update from your notes: progress, blockers, and the ask.
A short update an investor can read in two minutes, with real progress and honest blockers.
- 1
Paste the raw notes
Include the metrics that went down. An update that only reports wins is not trustworthy.
- 2
Remove unconfirmed lines
If the draft added progress that is not in your notes, delete it. Do not smooth it over.
- 3
Send it the same day every week
Consistency is the point. Late updates train investors to ignore them.
The prompt to paste
Write a weekly investor update from my notes. The audience is people who gave us money and expect the truth. Notes: [paste metrics, wins, blockers, and fragments from the week] Format: - Headline: the single most important thing this week, in one sentence - Metrics: revenue, active users, or the two numbers we agreed to track (no invented metrics) - Shipped: what customers can now use - Blocked: real blockers with the owner if known, or "unclear" if it is - Next week: the three things we will ship or decide - Ask: what we need from this investor, or "none this week" Under 300 words. No hype. If a metric went backward, show it. Do not invent progress, customer names, or close dates. If the notes are ambiguous, mark the line "unconfirmed" instead of guessing.
Do not mention a customer by name unless they agreed to be referenced. The investor may talk.
