When founders ask what gave them the edge in raising millions, the answer is almost always the same: they started their investor newsletter early. It’s not fancy tech or a viral ad—it’s consistent, direct communication with the people who can actually fund your growth.

We hope you’ve had a great summer and are ready to hit the ground running as September begins! One of the most overlooked ways founders get ahead is simple: they start their investor newsletter early.
When founders ask what gave them the edge in raising millions, the answer is almost always the same: they started their investor newsletter early. It’s not fancy tech or a viral ad—it’s consistent, direct communication with the people who can actually fund your growth.
Take Phoenix Tailings, for example. By sending out weekly updates to their growing investor list months before their Series B, they built trust, anticipation, and engagement.
That newsletter alone helped secure $76M in their cleantech Series B raise. And the best part? You don’t need a huge following or a polished studio, what matters is starting now.
1. Build Your Investor Pipeline Early
Every day you wait is a day lost to building credibility. Phoenix Tailings used their newsletter to share milestones, operational insights, and investor updates. By the time they were ready to raise, their investors already felt involved—and ready to commit. Starting early gives you a running start on your next raise.
2. Consistency Turns Contacts Into Investors
A newsletter isn’t about mass marketing—it’s about staying top-of-mind. Weekly updates turned casual interest into serious investment conversations for Phoenix Tailings. Investors didn’t just see the numbers—they understood the story behind the growth. That kind of consistency converts better than any single pitch deck ever could.
3. Transparency Builds Trust Fast
Every update your investors receive adds credibility. Phoenix Tailings didn’t just report wins; they shared challenges, pivots, and insights. That transparency reassures investors that your team is capable, accountable, and ready to scale. Trust, once earned, leads directly to closed capital.
