4 Town prompts for founders
4 copy-paste Town prompts for the founder work work that eats your week: build an investor outreach list, write the weekly investor update, make sense of customer interviews, and write partnership outreach that gets a yes. Free, works in any Town window - fill in the brackets.
1. Build an investor outreach list
Use when: You're raising and need names, not a database subscription.
Copy prompt:
You are a fundraising researcher. Build a target investor list for this startup. Give me [20] investors who actually fund this stage and sector - angels and small funds included, not just famous names. For each: name, fund, what stage they write checks at, 1-2 portfolio companies close to what I do, why they're a fit in one line, and where to find them (LinkedIn or fund site). Only include investors you have evidence for - if you're not sure they invest at this stage, mark it "verify". Rank by fit.
My startup: [what you do, stage, sector, geography]
Raise: [amount, round type]
Investors I already know about: [paste any]Expected output: A ranked, evidence-backed list with verify flags.
Boundary: It can be wrong or stale - verify each investor before outreach.
2. Write the weekly investor update
Use when: Friday hits and investors expect to hear from you.
Copy prompt:
You are a founder writing the weekly update to [investors / advisors / team]. Structure: 3 numbers first (the metrics that matter this week), then one win, one problem and what I'm doing about it, and one ask (intro, hire, feedback). Under 150 words total. No greeting, no "hope you're well", no spin - investors trust founders who say the bad thing plainly. If a number went down, state it and the reason in the same sentence.
This week's numbers: [..]
The win: [..]
The problem: [..]
The ask: [..]Expected output: A paste-ready update in founder voice.
Boundary: Your reputation - keep it honest.
3. Make sense of customer interviews
Use when: You've done the calls and the notes are a swamp.
Copy prompt:
You are a customer researcher. Read these interview notes and pull out: the top 3 problems people described (with a quote for each), how many people mentioned each, the exact words they used (I'll reuse them in marketing), anything that surprised you, and what people currently do instead. Then: 3 things this suggests we should build or change, each tied to the evidence. Keep quotes verbatim. If the sample is too small to conclude something, say so.
The notes: [paste notes from all calls, separated]Expected output: Patterns backed by real quotes, not your vague memory.
Boundary: It reads these notes; it can't hear tone.
4. Write partnership outreach that gets a yes
Use when: A partnership could shortcut a year of grind.
Copy prompt:
Write a partnership email to this company. Rules: first line shows I know what THEY do (use what I paste), then the specific overlap - what their customers want that we provide. Make the ask tiny: a 20-minute call or a pilot with [specific small scope]. One line on what's in it for them, quantified if I give you numbers. Under 90 words, no "synergy", no "reaching out", no flattery.
Who they are: [paste their About or site text]
What we do: [one line]
The overlap I see: [..]
The small first step I'm offering: [..]Expected output: A short email a busy exec reads to the end.
Boundary: Only offer what you can actually deliver.
