How we keep investors in the loop

A GitLab team member, after noticing clutter in the company's investor updates, proposed a new format to CEO Sid Sijbrandij, who accepted the challenge. The revised update is structured into seven sections: thanks, asks, key metrics, lowlights, highlights, expectations, and a CEO foreword. This organization aims to enhance comprehension and speed of reading for investors, ensuring that they receive all necessary information about the company's monthly performance. GitLab maintains a commitment to transparency by consistently highlighting three positives and three negatives each month, fostering trust and open communication. Regular investor updates are emphasized as crucial for instilling confidence and maintaining strong relationships with investors, as well as informing team members who hold stock options. The format has been well-received by investors and even caught the attention of Y Combinator for its excellence in shareholder communication, which is said to elevate the company's stature.
