Three angles, one I'd bet on. Rough on purpose so we can move fast.

THE THREE ANGLES

Lead with the loss. (My bet.) "We lost our biggest customer. Here's why, and here's why revenue still went up."
Lead with the growth: MRR up 18%, then mention the loss in paragraph 3.
Lead with the ask: two intros you need.

Why I'd bet on 1: investors find out about bad news eventually. If they hear it from you first, with a plan, they trust you more. My parents ran a restaurant for 22 years. When the health inspector gave them a B, my dad put the sign in the window himself and wrote "We fixed it" under it. Regulars came back the next day.

THE INVESTOR'S LIKELY OBJECTION

"Is losing your biggest customer a sign that the product doesn't work for bigger contractors?" Answer it before they ask.

THE DRAFT (ANGLE 1)

Subject: October update: lost our biggest customer, MRR still up 18%

Hi all,

The headline: we lost our biggest customer this month, and revenue still grew.

THE LOSS

Ridgeline Builders, 9% of revenue, left on Oct 12. They were acquired, and the new parent uses its own system. It wasn't about the product. Their ops lead offered to be a reference.

THE NUMBERS

MRR: $41,200, up 18% from $34,900.
Paying customers: 212, up from 171.
Churn: 2.1% (Ridgeline is most of that).
Cash: $1.14M, 19 months of runway.

WHAT WORKED

Our new "pay by text" button. 61% of invoices sent with it got paid in under 3 days.

WHAT DIDN'T

We still can't win contractors with more than 50 employees. They need permissions we don't have yet. That's the next build.

THE ASK

Two intros: anyone at a regional builder with 50 to 200 employees, and a payments lawyer.

Thanks for reading,

Ana

ON THE NAPKIN

Subject line options: "Lost our biggest customer, MRR still up 18%" / "October: one big loss, more growth" / "The honest October update."
