KPI Dashboard for Investors
Track and report these monthly:
- Revenue: MRR/ARR, growth rate, net revenue retention
- Unit economics: CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC ratio, payback months
- Efficiency: Burn multiple, Rule of 40, magic number
- Product: DAU/MAU, activation rate, NPS
- Team: Headcount, attrition, open roles
Investor Communication Rules
- Bad news travels fast — YOU should be the source, not rumor
- Under-promise, over-deliver (set guidance at 80% confidence)
- Monthly updates even when there's "nothing to report" — silence kills trust
- Format: bullet points, not essays. Investors read 50+ updates/month
- Always include an ask — intros, advice, customers, talent
Crisis Communication
- Revenue miss: acknowledge, explain root cause, share recovery plan
- Key person departure: announce proactively with transition plan
- Pivot: frame as learning, not failure. Show new thesis with data
- Cash crunch: be transparent about runway and options
