SUMMARY:Investor Updates: The Key to Building Trust and Securing Future Funds
DESCRIPTION:Practical strategies to craft updates\, strengthen relationships\, and boost your odds of future funding with investors.\nJoin us for a focused 1-hour workshop on “Mastering Monthly Investor Updates: The Key to Building Trust and Securing Future Funding” with entrepreneurial ecosytem champion and angel investor\, Tim Ryan\, and founder of Where2Wheel\, Brittany Peregoff.\nWhether you’re a startup currently raising capital\, preparing for your very first round\, bootstrapped with no prior funding\, or still at pre-seed stage\, consistent monthly updates are one of the highest-leverage activities founders can do—even (and especially) before you have any investors on board. Regular communication helps you stay top-of-mind with potential backers\, demonstrate execution and momentum over time (investors fund “lines\, not dots”)\, build credibility through transparency\, and dramatically increase your odds of closing funding—studies show companies that send regular updates are up to 3x more likely to secure follow-on or initial capital.\n \nWhat You’ll Learn\nIn this practical session\, you’ll learn why a monthly cadence matters at every stage\, the essential elements of an effective update (highlights\, key metrics\, honest challenges\, next steps\, and clear asks)\, and proven templates and best practices used by top founders to engage current investors while warming up prospects for your next raise. Walk away with the tools to create the perfect investor update that strengthens relationships\, attracts help and intros\, and positions your startup for long-term fundraising success—no matter where you are on the journey. Perfect for founders who want to turn routine communication into a powerful advantage in raising capital!\n \nSecure your spot! Seating is limited and lunch is included.
