A Message to Startup Founders: Please Talk to Your Investors
Many entrepreneurs don’t prioritize communicating with their investors… and that’s a mistake. At Impact Engine, we know how important the investor-entrepreneur relationship is. We have our own investors in our fund, dozens of investments in portfolio companies, and have supported many entrepreneurs in managing relationships with their other investors. We also know that when investors are out of the loop, they can get disengaged or frustrated. When something inevitably goes wrong in your business, investors will be more skeptical about your ability to handle it, and less likely to re-invest. On the upside, when investors are in the loop and engaged, they can add a lot more value. Many investors will go out of their way to help if they know what you need.
