Welcome to the Thunder Founder Newsletter issue #2!
You can expect us to share a new topic every week that is relevant to scaling your company and successfully fundraising!
Now that we discussed the right time to fundraise, we felt it was appropriate to talk about updating those investors who invested in you and your company.
But what do investors want to see in an update?
After an investor invests in your company, the relationship does not end. It becomes a long road ahead filled with discussions and accountability. As a founder, you not only need to be prepared to talk about an investor's eventual ROI but also your business's expansion plan and what you need to succeed.

Below are a few articles and templates we feel will help you structure your investor updates and give you insight into the information that should be included.
