Reading guide
Robin observes that many teams disappear after receiving investment and stop interacting altogether, which only makes it harder for them to move forward. His personal recommendation is to report progress at least once a quarter, good or bad: what is going well, where the bottlenecks are, what is going badly, and what to examine next. Facing investors’ questions is also a valuable opportunity to assess yourself from someone else’s perspective.
Key points
- Do not disappear after receiving investment.
- Report progress at least once a quarter.
- Report both good and bad: progress, bottlenecks, poor performance, and what to examine next.
- Investors’ questions offer a chance to reassess yourself.
