What it covers
The between-raises work that keeps investor relationships warm, governance running, and the ground prepared for the next raise.
Operations
Investor update operation
Scheduled update cadence → KPIs assembled → commentary written → update issued → follow-ups handled.
Board meeting operation
Meeting scheduled → pack prepared → meeting held → decisions recorded → actions tracked.
Relationship maintenance operation
Touchpoints with investors and future-targets kept current through the year, not just when raising.
Notes
The between-raise period is when the next raise is built. Investors who have been well-managed between rounds are a warm audience for the next raise; investors who've been ignored are a cold audience.
