Founders write a relentless stream of high-stakes documents — investor updates, memos, OKRs, board decks, positioning — usually while doing ten other things. This pack gives you prompt templates for each, with fill-in-the-blank variables so you turn your real numbers into a credible draft in minutes, then spend your time on judgement instead of formatting.
How it works
Each prompt asks for the inputs that make founder output credible: your company and stage, your real metrics and traction, and the specific ask or decision. The bracketed fields are where your business reality goes — vague inputs produce vague memos, real numbers produce a draft you can send. Filter by category, fill in the brackets, copy, and run.
Tips for sharper founder writing
- Lead with honesty. Investors and boards trust founders who name the lowlights. The update prompts include a challenges section for exactly this — use it.
- Make key results outcomes, not tasks. “Ship feature X” is a task; “lift activation from 22% to 35%” is a result. The OKR prompt enforces this, but check the output holds the line.
- Keep memos to one page. The memo and board-update prompts default to tight structure. Resist adding more — clarity beats completeness with busy readers.
- Protect sensitive numbers. For runway and financial scenarios, prefer a tool that doesn’t train on your inputs, or use rounded figures.
