Flag risky clauses, missing protections, and negotiation points in any legal agreement.

Investor Update

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Write monthly or quarterly investor updates with metrics, wins, challenges, and asks.

What each one does

Contract Review

  • Reads any contract and produces a structured review with risk rating and key terms summary
  • Flags unusual or risky clauses with plain English explanations of what they mean
  • Identifies missing protections that should normally be in this type of agreement
  • Recommends specific actions for each clause (negotiate, accept, seek legal advice, or query)
  • Translates legal jargon into a summary anyone can understand

Investor Update

  • Creates a structured investor update with metrics table, highlights, challenges, and asks
  • Prompts you for key inputs like revenue, runway, wins, and problems to ensure nothing is missed
  • Formats the update in the style preferred by early-stage and growth investors
  • Includes an honest challenges section to build credibility and trust
  • Makes your asks specific and actionable so investors know how to help

When to pick each one
