Starter prompts
4 ways to start with IR.
Monthly update
→ Series B SaaS, mixed quarter
▸ Preview prompt
Draft a monthly investor update for a Series B SaaS. Mixed quarter: ARR up 18% MoM (great), but lost 2 enterprise renewals (bad). 17 months runway. Hiring a VP Sales. Include: highlights, KPIs with trend, lowlights (honest), asks, what's next month. 600 words.
Board pre-read
→ Quarterly, narrative-first
▸ Preview prompt
Write a 4-page board pre-read narrative (the part before the data appendix). Q3 vs Q2: revenue +28%, NRR 118%, customer count +12, churn flat at 1.2%, runway 19 months. Strategic decisions to surface: AI infra build vs buy, EU expansion timing, follow-on equity plan.
Cap-table commentary
→ After Series C closes
▸ Preview prompt
Write the cap-table commentary memo for the team after a Series C closes. Pre-money $400M, $80M raise, 4% pool refresh. Walk through: founder dilution, ESOP impact, preference stack, anti-dilution, what this means for an eventual exit. Plain English, optimistic but honest.
Inbound investor
→ Reply to a cold partner
▸ Preview prompt
Reply to a cold inbound from a partner at a Tier 1 fund who saw our recent press. We're not raising. Decline gracefully, keep the door open, ask one strategic question that gets us a useful conversation without committing to a fundraise.
