Record monthly investor update videos on Mac that actually get watched
Most monthly investor updates are written and skimmed. The ones that get watched are the 2-4 minute video updates founders record from their Mac the day they send the email. Telepront is a free native macOS teleprompter that makes recording those updates a 10-minute job instead of a 60-minute one. Paste the script, look at your webcam, and ship a polished update that opens with the metrics and ends with the asks.
See It in Action
Investor updates are a discipline, not a marketing exercise. The investors who back you want to see consistent thinking month after month. The ones who didn't back you want to see why they should have. A 3-minute video update, sent every 30 days, builds both flywheels in a way the written letter alone never does.\nThe failure mode is volume of effort. Founders who try to record an investor video in one perfect take spend 60 minutes on it the first time, 90 the second time, and stop by month four. Telepront brings that down to 10 minutes total. Write the script — most of it is already in the written update — paste it into the floating panel, record one take, send.\nThe floating panel sits below your webcam so your eye line stays high. Investors watching the video on their phone see you looking at them, not down at notes. That difference shows up in reply rates: video updates with good eye contact convert into intros and follow-on conversations at noticeably higher rates than the same content delivered as text.\nApple's on-device speech tracking is non-negotiable for investor updates because the script almost always contains pre-public ARR, churn rates, runway calculations, and customer names that have not been publicly disclosed. Local recognition keeps that information on your Mac, full stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a monthly investor update video be?
Most investors prefer 2-3 minutes. The video supplements the written update and covers tone, color, and asks. Anything over 5 minutes loses watch rate.
Should the script be detailed numbers or narrative?
Narrative. The written update has the numbers. The video is for the why behind the numbers — what's working, what's hard, what you need.
Are the metrics safe in the script?
Yes. Apple's speech recognition runs on-device on modern Macs. Pre-public ARR figures and customer names never leave your Mac.
Can I send the same video to all investors?
Yes. One general video update plus a personal Loom for top investors with specific asks is the common pattern. Telepront supports both.
How often should I record one?
Monthly is standard. Telepront makes it fast enough that you can sustain the cadence for years instead of slipping after the first three months.
