Follow up after an investor meeting without being annoying

  1. Send a concise thank-you within 24 hours

  • Purpose: show professionalism and appreciation.

  • Content: one short paragraph thanking them for their time, referencing the meeting date and one specific point you discussed to personalize it.

  • Example: “Thanks for meeting today — I appreciated your questions about our go-to-market plan and the feedback on scaling our sales team.”

  1. Reiterate key takeaways and next steps

  • Purpose: confirm alignment and reduce misunderstandings.

  • Content: 2–4 bullet points: the main decision points, any data or documents promised, and clear next steps with owners and timing.

  • Example: “Recap: 1) You’d like our 12‑month financial model by Friday; 2) We’ll introduce you to our head of growth next Tuesday; 3) You’ll review term interest and share feedback in two weeks.”

  1. Deliver promised materials promptly and neatly

  • Purpose: build credibility and trust.

  • Content: include a single attachment or link labeled clearly (e.g., “FAVA Group — 12-Month Model v1”) and a 1–2 sentence summary of what’s included.

  • Tip: use PDF for documents; one master folder

Happy Follow-Up! Follow-up with Confidence! Follow-Up with gratitude!
