description	Use when writing an investor update. Structures the update around a shareable Hook & Ask (the part most investors will actually read) followed by mission/momentum, traction, strategy validation, and team — optimized for the retell test.

Investor updates

An investor update is memetic propagation. Structure it so investors can easily retell the story at dinner.

Hook and Ask — most investors will only read this part

• Hook — the single most exciting thing that happened. One sentence, punchy, shareable.
• Ask — one concrete call to action. Pick one: share this media, introduce us to someone specific, or ask around for something we need. Make it easy to do right now.

The retell test

If an investor had 30 seconds to tell a friend about Auki at dinner, what would you want them to say? Write that sentence. That's the hook.

Mission and momentum

Remind them of our mission and strategy. Update on momentum since the last one.

Traction

Consider live location count or revenue if there's news. What did a customer or partner say this month that every investor should hear?

Strategy validation

What did we learn that confirms or challenges the perception-first thesis?

Team

Any exciting staffing changes?
