How to update your stakeholders in 5 easy steps

"VC's generally suck at sharing deal flow with other VC's. Potential reasons why: -too busy, too lazy "busy on Twitter", sadly they are competitive, can't recall which investor would like the deal, fear of being judged on the deal. In the end, it’s the founders who get hurt because warm intros from an investor friend is huge. Let's remember, sharing is caring." Chris Cunningham, Founding Partner C2 Ventures

You can "not suck" by following these 5 steps.

It'll take you less than an hour per month.

Step 1 - Organize your existing portfolio stakeholders into a CSV.

Step 2 - Upload that CSV into a newsletter platform. (recommend: Beehiive).

Step 3 - Commit to a schedule. (recommend monthly and use Motion to remind you)

Step 4 - Use the following as an outline for your updates:

a) Highlights...3 bullet points with 1 line per bullet. (pro-tip: use Hook - Build - Payoff format)

b) Investments...List each company with 1 line blurb. (pro-tip: again, Hook-Build-Payoff format)

c) Lessons Learned...Expand on each bullet from the "highlights" section

d) Next 30 days...What's on your horizon?

e) Asks: 3 bullets

Step 5 - Create a Table of Contents for previous issue links. (recommend: Notion or Google Docs...edge to Docs because its more universal)

Pro-tip: Have someone record and interview you against the outline in step 4. Upload the file to Otter for transcription.

Pro-tip: Copy key parts from the transcription and paste them into TweetHunter AI. Use the generated content to post to Twitter, LinkedIn, and wherever your audience is.
