Vectig
Investor updates and runway forecasts drafted from your actual numbers, automatically.
Tagline
Investor updates on autopilot
The monthly update your investors expect
Stop contradicting last month in board decks
From Stripe to investor update in minutes
The monthly investor update, finally on autopilot.
This is the clearest category-defining angle because the product is not a generic writing tool; it automates a very specific recurring founder workflow around investor updates.
The alternative to Visible, Notion templates, and Sunday-night spreadsheet chaos.
The page explicitly names import sources and solves the manual assembly problem better than template-based workflows by combining data pulls, memory, and voice learning in one system.
A pain-killer for founders who keep contradicting themselves in board updates.
The multi-month memory, prior-update context, and 'what changed' diff are strong proof points that this product is designed to prevent narrative drift, not just save writing time.
Primary user
Venture-backed startup founder writing monthly investor updates without a dedicated IR or finance ops person
ICP #1
Pre-seed SaaS founder with 4-12 investors and no CFO
Pain
Spending a Sunday night stitching together Stripe screenshots, bank balances, and old update docs while trying not to repeat promises from last month
Why this solves
Vectig pulls the actual metrics, remembers prior updates, and gives them a mostly complete draft they can finish in 15 minutes instead of starting from scratch
ICP #2
Seed-stage founder of a Stripe-native B2B SaaS with 8-50 employees
Pain
Investor updates are inconsistent across months, especially when runway, CAC, and hiring plans change quickly and every board member expects a coherent narrative
Why this solves
Vectig tracks the metric changes automatically, keeps the story aligned with last month, and surfaces the exact prompts founders need to explain wins, problems, and asks
ICP #3
Founder-operator preparing board materials without a finance team
Pain
They need monthly investor updates and a simple runway forecast, but tools like Notion and spreadsheets require manual assembly and leave too much room for mistakes
Why this solves
Vectig combines recurring investor updates with a built-in forecaster and board-deck export, so the same connected data can support both comms and planning
Strengths
- +The value proposition is concrete and specific: it names the exact monthly pain, the exact data sources, and the exact output cadence.
- +The sample investor update is strong proof; it shows real metrics, real narrative fields, and a believable finished artifact.
- +The page reduces perceived risk with clear shipping timelines, founding partner pricing, and a refund promise.
Weaknesses
- −It is trying to sell two products at once: investor update automation and runway forecasting, which blurs the main job-to-be-done.
- −The headline is good, but the page buries the sharpest proof under broad feature blocks instead of leading with the actual before/after workflow.
- −The audience is implied rather than tightly segmented; 'venture-backed founders' is too wide when the strongest wedge is pre-seed to seed founders without IR help.
- −There is too much internal product language like 'connected data layer' and 'multi-month memory' without translating it into founder outcomes fast enough.
- −The social proof is effectively nonexistent; there are no quotes, logos, or examples of boards/investors actually reading these updates.
Fix these
- Make the hero about the update draft itself, not the company philosophy: show a live sample of a real monthly update before the intro copy.
- Split the message into two paths: 'Investor updates' and 'Runway calculator,' with the former as the primary conversion path.
- Add a comparison section against Visible and manual templates showing time saved, data sources connected, and contradiction prevention.
- Add founder-specific proof: screenshots of open tracking, a sample 'what changed' diff, and an anonymized board-ready update.
- Tighten the ICP on the page to pre-seed and seed founders with small cap tables, since the copy already signals that this is the strongest use case.

Headline
Your monthly investor update, drafted
Pulls real numbers. Remembers last month. Ships in minutes.
Drafts the update from actual numbers
Vectig connects Stripe, your bank, and accounting tools to pull MRR, burn, runway, and cash automatically. You start with a real draft instead of a blank page.
Stops you from contradicting yourself
Vectig remembers your last five updates and prior commitments, then adds a clear what-changed diff. That keeps the story consistent when the numbers move.
Writes like you, not like software
It learns from past updates imported from Visible, Notion, or Google Docs. The result is a draft that sounds like your company, not a generic template.
Investor updates plus runway planning
The same data powers a runway calculator, what-if simulator, and PDF export for board decks. One workflow for updates, forecasting, and board prep.
FAQ
Who is this for?
Pre-seed and seed founders who send monthly investor updates but do not have a dedicated IR or finance ops person. It is also useful for founders or operators who own board comms.
Does it replace Visible or Notion?
It replaces the manual work around those tools. You can import past updates from Visible, Notion, or Google Docs, then let Vectig draft the next one from live data.
How much editing does the draft need?
Usually not much. The goal is a 90% finished update on the 1st so you only need to add judgment, context, and any founder-specific nuance.
What data sources do you connect to?
Vectig connects to Stripe, bank accounts, and accounting tools to pull the metrics founders actually use in monthly updates and runway planning.
Can I use it for board decks too?
Yes. The same data layer powers runway forecasts, what-if scenarios, and PDF export for board materials.
Investor updates take founders forever. Vectig pulls Stripe, bank, and accounting data into a draft monthly update on the 1st. It remembers what you promised last month. It shows what changed. Less Sunday-night spreadsheet chaos. More actual company-building.
Most founders are winging updates. Stripe screenshots in one tab. Bank balance in another. Last month's Notion doc somewhere in the void. Vectig connects the dots and drafts the investor update for you. Not a template. A system.
We built this from founder pain. The same founder ritual keeps happening every month: 1) pull metrics 2) rewrite history 3) avoid contradicting last month 4) send it late Vectig automates the part founders hate most. The writing starts 90% done.
The worst part is not writing. It's remembering what you told investors 30 days ago. Vectig keeps the last five updates, detects contradictions, and surfaces a clean 'what changed' diff. That alone saves a ton of embarrassment.
Sunday nights should not mean updates. Founders shouldn't be assembling board comms from Stripe, bank balances, and old docs by hand. Vectig drafts the monthly investor update from the actual numbers. If you've ever done this in a panic, you know.
If your update changes every month, your story shouldn't. Vectig keeps the narrative anchored to prior updates so you don't accidentally promise one thing in March and say the opposite in April. Useful if you like investors trusting you.
Here's the whole workflow in one sentence: Connect Stripe + bank + accounting. Vectig pulls MRR, burn, runway, and cash. It drafts the update. You edit the three prompts. Send. That is the product.
90% done on the first. That's the magic. No blank page. No hunting for metrics. No starting from zero. Just a draft investor update waiting for the founder to add judgment, context, and the ask.
Founders don't need more software. They need fewer monthly rituals. Vectig is for the founder who already has enough tools and not enough time. If you're still writing investor updates from scratch, this is the boring automation that pays for itself.
The best tools disappear fast. Vectig should feel like this: your numbers appear, the draft appears, the contradictions disappear. If a monthly investor update takes you more than 15 minutes, something is broken.
Angle: autopilot investor updates
Most founders are still writing investor updates like it's 2014. Open Stripe. Open bank statements. Open last month's Notion doc. Try not to contradict yourself. We built Vectig for the pre-seed and seed founder who has investors, metrics, and no finance team. It connects to Stripe, your bank, and accounting tools, then drafts the monthly update from your actual numbers. The useful part isn't just speed. It's consistency. Vectig remembers what you said last month, pulls a "what changed" diff, and gives you a 90% finished update on the 1st. That means less scrambling, fewer mistakes, and a lot less time spent pretending a spreadsheet is a communication system.
Angle: no more contradictions
The hidden cost of investor updates is not writing. It's contradiction. You said runway was 8 months. Then hiring happened. Then cash changed. Then the story drifted. Now every monthly update becomes a mini forensic exercise. Vectig stores the last five updates and prior commitments, then uses that context to keep the narrative aligned. It doesn't just draft metrics. It helps you avoid saying something stupid twice. For founders with 4-12 investors and no CFO, that matters a lot more than fancy formatting. We're seeing a simple pattern: founders don't want another dashboard. They want a trustworthy draft they can finish fast.
Angle: single workflow for updates and runway
A lot of founder tools try to solve one tiny piece of the monthly close. Vectig is more opinionated. One connected data layer powers: - monthly investor updates - runway forecasting - what-if scenarios - board deck PDF export The point is not to sell more software. The point is to make the monthly reporting workflow less fragmented. If you are a founder doing board comms without dedicated IR or finance ops, the workflow is usually the product. That's the part we focused on. You should not need three tools and a Sunday evening to answer: How did we do? What changed? How long do we have?

Investor updates drafted from real numbers
Description
Vectig pulls Stripe, bank, and accounting data into a draft monthly investor update. It remembers prior updates, flags contradictions, tracks opens, and gives founders a runway forecast in minutes.
Maker's first comment
I built Vectig because I kept watching founders do the same painful ritual every month: Stripe screenshots, bank balances, old docs, and a lot of rewriting to avoid contradicting last month. Investor updates should not be a Sunday-night scavenger hunt. The goal here is simple: connect the actual numbers, draft the update, keep the narrative consistent, and get founders from blank page to sendable draft fast. The runway calculator and board-deck export came from the same problem: founders don't just need to report; they need to make decisions with the same data. I'd love feedback from founders on the output quality, the contradiction detection, and whether the monthly cadence feels right. If you've used Visible, Notion templates, or a spreadsheet for this, I'm especially curious what would make you switch.
Pinned maker comment
Would love feedback on two things: 1) whether the draft feels genuinely close enough to send, and 2) whether the product should stay tightly focused on investor updates or keep runway forecasting front and center.
Meta
Founders waste Sundays on investor updates.
Hypothesis: pre-seed and seed founders without a finance team will convert on a product that turns raw company data into a ready-to-edit investor update. Vectig connects Stripe, bank, and accounting tools, then drafts the monthly update from actual numbers and prior context. Less manual assembly. Fewer contradictions. Faster sends.
