Founders

One of the biggest mistakes I've seen first time founders make is not sending monthly investor updates. It's easy to make excuses like "too busy" or "no major changes", but the truth is those emails help you hold yourself accountable. It doesn't matter if the update says you're struggling or pivoting or low on runway—that just gives investors the context to help you earlier instead of when it's too late. Once someone has invested, you should never be afraid of sending them regular company updates!

That’s why I post my revenue each month publicly and some reflections. It’s not so much for other people but rather for me to reflect on what I did well/what I need to improve. Also gives me data on the things I’ve been lagging behind on MoM

That’s even bolder than I was going for haha 😆 but it probably helps a lot with getting external ideas on how to grow the business

At some point it will become an opsec issue. But for now I’m not ashamed because I hold myself to that standard right? And I plan on reaching my goals so I have nothing to hide 🥰
