Overview

What this tool is for

A strong investor update leads with the numbers. Clear, well-designed charts do two jobs at once: they make your progress easy to grasp in the thirty seconds an investor actually spends, and they signal that you are on top of your business. Sloppy or absent charts signal the opposite, whatever the numbers say.

A good update has a rhythm. Open with the headline metric as a counter or a single bold line. Follow with a KPI scorecard so the supporting numbers and their trends are visible at a glance. Add a growth chart for the metric that matters most this period, and a funnel or waterfall if conversion or revenue movement is part of the story.

Reochart turns MRR, growth, runway and KPIs into clean, on-brand visuals in minutes, so your update looks as considered as your traction. Whether it is a monthly email, a board deck or a data room, the charts carry the credibility.

How it works

How to chart an investor update

1

Lead with one headline: a counter for an ARR milestone, or a single growth line. Then add a KPI scorecard (current and previous values for each metric so trends show) and a chart for the period's key story. Keep each visual to one clear point.

2

Be consistent and honest: same metrics each period, axes from zero, no cherry-picked windows. Investors track the same numbers month over month, and consistency reads as control.

Reach for something else

When not to use it

  • The news is bad and a chart would spin it, be straight in prose instead.
  • A metric needs caveats a chart cannot carry, explain it in text.
  • You are changing which metrics you report, that itself needs explaining.
  • It is a quick text note, not every update needs a full chart set.

Best practices

Get it right

Do
  • Lead with the single most important number.
  • Report the same metrics every period.
  • Start axes at zero and show fair windows.
  • Include trends so direction is obvious.
Don't
  • Cherry-pick a flattering time range.
  • Swap metrics in and out to hide a soft quarter.
  • Bury the headline among supporting charts.
  • Dress up bad news with a misleading axis.

Watch out

Common mistakes to avoid

!
Inconsistent metrics

Changing which numbers you report each month makes investors suspicious. Keep a stable set so progress is comparable.

!
Spin

A truncated axis or cherry-picked window is transparent to experienced investors and costs you trust. Be straight.

!
No headline

If the reader has to hunt for the key number, the update has failed. Lead with it.

!
Charting bad news

When a metric is down, a chart can look like you are hiding behind it. Address it plainly in text.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What charts belong in an investor update?

A headline metric as a counter, a KPI scorecard for the supporting numbers, a growth line or area chart, and a waterfall if revenue movement is part of the story.

How many charts should an update have?

A handful, one headline, one scorecard, one or two story charts. Enough to show progress, not so many that the point is lost.

Should I report the same metrics each time?

Yes. Consistency lets investors track progress and reads as control. Swapping metrics to hide a soft quarter is quickly noticed.

Can I match my brand?

Yes. On Pro you can set your brand colours and add your logo so the whole update looks consistent.

Can I make it animated?

Yes. Charts animate by default, and you can export the animation as an MP4 or GIF, or grab a static PNG or SVG if you prefer.

Is Reochart free?

Yes. The free plan lets you make every chart type and export an animated MP4 with a small watermark, no card needed. Pro removes the watermark and adds GIF and SVG, your brand colours and logo, longer videos and CSV import.
