Regular investor updates are a great way to give visibility to your investors, keep them involved, and take a step back on how everything is going.

For Double's first year, I shared investor updates every single week — the business was changing too fast and I often needed my investors' input. After week 52, I decided to move to a monthly cadence, which I still keep today.

Here's the template I use below, with details on each section.

Basic rules

• Keep it short and easy to scan.
• Pick a cadence and stick to it, even during bad months :) (Suggested: monthly)
• Put everyone in bcc.
• Send a test to yourself the first few times to fix any formatting issues.

Subject

• Keep the title of your updates consistent, so it's easy to find them in your inbox later.
