Always Have a Customer Update
Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.
In raising funding, it’s important to show progress with customers.
In each interaction with an investor, bring up new information about a customer.
Investors care less about how the product works and more about how the customer is engaging with the product.
In each update, show new information about the customer interaction.
Here’s a list of customer updates to consider:
A list of care abouts from the customer for a solution.
A product specification.
The customer’s test results of the startup's product.
The startup’s pitch to the customer to buy the product.
The price negotiation for buying the product.
The customer’s buy rate and retention rate.
The customer’s comparison of the startup's product with a competitor's product.
Additional features the customer wants from the product.
How the product fits into the customer’s workflow.
Investors want to know how well the product works for the customer to understand product-market fit.
Always have a customer update when talking to an investor.
Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
Let’s go startup something today.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
