Investor Relations

Metal Investor Relations helps founders manage investor relationships between fundraising rounds. It turns occasional updates into a consistent process for sharing progress, understanding engagement, and preparing for future funding conversations.

Keep investors informed, understand their engagement, and build future investor demand before the next fundraising round begins.

What does the product do?

Create Investor Updates

Write updates manually or draft them with AI using the company’s information, documents, progress, and recent achievements.

Use investors’ historical investment behaviour as a signal for future fundraising conversations.

Discover Warm Routes

How does it work?

1

Add company context

Add the company’s information, documents, metrics, progress, and recent achievements.

2

Create the update

Write the investor update manually or use Metal to create an AI-assisted draft.

3

Improve the narrative

Review recommendations for missing metrics, unclear explanations, and areas that need more context.

4

Send the update

Send the update to existing investors, prospective investors, and useful connectors.

5

Review engagement

See who opened or viewed the update and how they engaged with it.

6

Prioritize the next action

Identify the investors and relationships that require a follow-up, conversation, or introduction request.

Investor relations often exist across emails, spreadsheets, presentations, and the founder’s memory. This makes communication inconsistent and makes it difficult to maintain investor trust and momentum.

Updates require too much work

Metal creates updates using the company’s information, documents, and founder input.

Numbers lack a clear story

Metal helps explain what changed, why it matters, and what should happen next.

Engagement is unclear

Delivery, email opens, and authenticated reading activity provide better visibility.

Investor relationships become cold

Regular updates keep the company visible to existing and prospective investors.

Follow-on potential is difficult to judge

Historical investment behaviour helps founders prioritize future conversations.

Warm opportunities remain hidden

Co-investor intelligence surfaces firms connected to existing investors.

Engagement and follow-on signals help founders prioritize conversations. They do not guarantee that an investor will respond or invest.
