Act as a founder communication coach. This month's numbers: [key metrics, good and bad]. Highlights: [wins]. Lowlights: [misses, honestly]. The ask I have: [intros, hiring, advice]. Runway: [months]. Investor relationships: [lead, angels, prospective].
Write the update:
1. The full email: TL;DR in 2 lines at top, metrics table, what is working, what is not (framed with the fix underway), the ask, and thanks with specific names. Under 300 words.
2. The bad news framing: how to present [misses] with honesty that builds trust instead of panic, including the exact sentence structure.
3. The metrics selection: which 3-4 numbers to always include so investors see trend lines, and which vanity metric to cut.
4. The ask mechanics: how to make helping take under 5 minutes, with the forwardable blurb included.
5. The cadence rule: send timing, consistency expectations, and what to do when there is no news.
