The formula for a productive investor update email

It’s the beginning of the year so I’ve started receiving investor update emails from my portfolio, or those that I’m closely tracking and the founders have put me on the list.

Some of these emails are far more effective than others.

There are multiple schools of thought on whether investor updates are a waste of time, neutral or highly beneficial. I know where I stand. They are worth the hours that they take when done well. If they’re not done well, then it’s a lot of bother and not a lot of ROI.
