What is an investor update video?
An investor update is summary of the progress your company has made during the past month. It usually focusses on the main metrics your company tracks, as well as updates on hiring, successes, failures, and where your investors can help. Normally an investor update is sent via email. An investor update video addresses these topics but as a video. This allows you to share more context and going into more detail that writing will allow on certain things. An investor update video is great for showing product updates too, because it’s more visual. An investor update video can be included as a link in your regular email.
