Investor Updates
Going Dark on Investors Costs You More Than You Think
A month without an update is a month your investors forget about your momentum, or start assuming the worst. Visible makes it easy to send updates that keep them in your corner, ready to say yes when you need them most.

The Silent Inbox Is Quietly Working Against You
You meant to send an update. Then the month gets away from you, and it becomes two months, then it's easier to just wait for good news before reaching out at all. Meanwhile, your investors are filling in the blanks themselves, and silence rarely gets read as "things are fine." The cost shows up later. When you need a bridge round, an intro, or a vote of confidence, you're asking investors who haven't heard from you in months to show up for someone they've lost touch with. Regular updates are the difference between an investor who already trusts you and one you have to convince all over again.

You Don't Have to Choose Between Building and Staying in Touch
You didn't go quiet because you stopped caring, running the company just took over and the update kept slipping. We’ve been there and know it’s just what happens without the right system. We built Visible so staying in touch doesn't compete with everything else you're doing.
I use Visible to update two groups of investors - current investors and new prospects. Whether it's fundraising or investor relations, it's a great tool for founders who raise outside capital.
Visible allows me to send seamless investor updates with beautifully designed live charts that get instant responses. It has made my monthly update a pleasure, not a chore.
I use Visible to update investors and it makes me look like a pro. Every month I'm reminded how grateful I am to them.
