Startup founders that are not sending their investors monthly updates are ignoring a massive opportunity to improve their business and build up relationships with your stakeholders. Frequent investor updates will keep you accountable and demonstrate your execution capability.

I haven't seen a founder who has a budget line for any self-care activity. In almost every other skilled industry there is recognition that people have a right to take care of themselves and that a little bit of self-care actually leads to a more productive workforce.

What many founders have not worked out is that investors are there for the long haul, so not sharing the issues of the business is to their detriment. Investors want to know what is going on in the business and communicating frequently with them keeps them engaged and supportive.
