Investor Videos / Investor Relations Videos: communicate traction and credibility without a 20-slide deck
Investor videos exist because attention is scarce. Most investors won’t read everything you send, and even fewer will understand your story quickly without context. A strong investor video compresses what matters—vision, traction, team, and plan—into something watchable and easy to forward.
If you’re raising, updating stakeholders, or nurturing investor relationships, investor video content makes your story clearer, faster, and more credible.
What investor videos are really for
Investor videos usually do one of two jobs:
Raise (get a meeting, move the conversation forward)
Retain confidence (keep existing investors aligned and excited)
That’s it. They’re not about being flashy. They’re about making the business feel real, disciplined, and investable.
The investor questions your video must answer
Whether it’s a pitch video or an IR update, the viewer is silently scanning for:
What’s the problem and why now?
What’s the solution and why you?
How do you make money?
What traction proves this is working?
What’s the go-to-market plan?
What does the team bring that reduces execution risk?
What’s the ask / next step?
If your video answers these cleanly, it reduces friction in the next conversation.
The two main styles of investor video (and when to use each)
Founder-led pitch video
Best for outreach, warm intros, and early-stage raises. It’s more human, more narrative, and easier to trust quickly.
Investor relations update video
Best for existing shareholders and stakeholder alignment. It’s more structured: metrics, milestones, roadmap, and priorities.
You can also create short “module” clips (traction, team, product demo) that can be mixed into different contexts depending on the audience.
What makes investor videos feel credible (not “salesy”)
Investors can smell hype. Credibility comes from clarity and restraint:
specific traction (numbers, milestones, customer proof)
clean explanation of the business model
realistic next steps and timelines
transparency about what’s true today vs what’s planned
a confident but calm delivery
The best investor videos feel like a founder explaining reality—not performing.
Where investor videos get used
Investor video isn’t just a fundraising thing. It can support:
outreach emails (“watch this to understand us fast”)
pitch decks (paired with slides to speed up comprehension)
data room intros (context before deep documents)
annual updates and shareholder communications
internal alignment for teams and partners
press and credibility moments (selective cutdowns)
Recorded at our audio/video Toronto podcast recording studio, you get a consistent, professional look that matches the tone investors expect: clean audio, sharp visuals, and a calm, premium feel.
Mistakes that cause investors to lose interest
too much vision and not enough traction
jargon instead of simple business explanation
overlong videos (investors want clarity, not a documentary)
missing the business model (how money is made)
not stating the ask (what you want and why)
A good investor video makes the next step obvious.
A simple structure that works for most investor pitch videos
You can keep it straightforward:
One-line “what we do” and who it’s for
The problem and why now
The product and the differentiator
Traction (metrics, customers, proof)
Business model + go-to-market
Team credibility
The ask + what happens next
This can be tight. The goal is comprehension, not completeness.
You don’t need to be a presenter to deliver a strong investor message
A lot of founders avoid video because they don’t want to memorize a pitch or worry about delivery. You don’t need performance—you need clarity.
With structured prompts and an optional teleprompter, you can deliver a confident investor video in a low-friction session and walk away with a finished, ready-to-send asset—without technical work or editing on your end.
