Use case

Automate Investor Updates

Use case3 apps5 steps~15 min to set up

Most founders promise monthly investor updates and miss half of them. The ones they do send take 2-4 hours to assemble — pulling numbers from Stripe, pasting into a spreadsheet, writing the narrative, formatting it, and emailing it out. The result is inconsistent cadence, stale numbers, and investors who stop reading.

How Starch solves it

The path forward

Starch automates the entire investor update workflow. Investor Reporting pulls live metrics from Stripe and Plaid, drafts the narrative sections with AI, and sends polished updates to your investor list on the cadence you set. Runway Analysis and Scenario Analysis feed board-ready numbers directly into the report. You review and approve — the whole process takes 15 minutes instead of a full day.

Walkthrough

Send a monthly investor update in 15 minutes

1 Starch pulls your latest revenue, burn, and runway numbers from Stripe and Plaid automatically.

2 AI drafts the narrative sections — wins, risks, asks, and market context — based on the data and a quick prompt from you about what mattered this month.

3 Review the generated report: edit any narrative that doesn't match your voice, verify the numbers look right.

4 Approve and send. Starch emails the update to your investor list and tracks who opened it.

5 Next month, the process repeats — your tone, structure, and investor list are remembered.

Yes. You can generate ad-hoc board-ready updates with extra detail on burn rate, projections, and competitive context. Export as PDF or send directly from Starch.
