Having tried various ways to improve Founder / Investor communications, achieving results has a lot to with perception of value of stakeholders (ie: worth communicating to) – for CEOs serious about success. Or, nativity in the case of inexperienced or incompetent CEOs.

This is an example of why learning fast and experience matter + the need for investors to add value (either as an individual or as a group).

This is an area that always ticked me off with my personal early stage investments and we vowed not to do it at Transcepta. I’m certain that a good our success with follow-on rounds came because we kept the investors up to date quarterly. Excellent advice for new entrepreneurs (as usual).

Active communication can drastically improve their comfort level and help stabilize the pre-existing support network that the entrepreneur had/has.
