We've just released a big new feature. Discussions.
Lots of founders have told us that when they send out a report, they get questions from their investors. Often the same question from multiple people. This feature aims to fix that by allowing focussed, contextual discussion embedded right there on the page where your report is read.

Oh, and we just integrated with Slack too.
Report
@duanejackson Great service! Considering getting the whole team on board. Couple of questions:
-Is this in active development or a side project? How many people work on it?
-What's your high-level roadmap? What's next?
-What pricing are you considering?
@cherif it's very much in active development. Only a small team at the moment, a couple of developers. We're purposely self-funded (I had a pretty good exit on my last business) so we're not under pressure to move too fast.
Roadmap is being largely dictated by users - the biggie on the list is integrations (probably via Zapier) to automatically populate metrics data.
The core product will always be free, but there will be a paid-for version that will include a couple of additional features. Probably the Team and Discussions functionality. We're still thinking about price points. There are similar-ish products (although more focussed on cap table management) that charge starting at $99/month. Our prices wont be anywhere near as high as that.
Report
Just started using. Its ideal for the stage we are in. I was in fact thinking of creating a spreadsheet. This solves that problem nicely with a great UX.
I can finally keep the C-Levels and the Board updated. You don't know (oh, well, maybe you do) how useful this is! In 2014 I made only about 3 monthly reports then I quit doing them, because it was getting way too messy.
I love the Supdate method. I've already filed 3 months for 2015 and I have the others in-progress. This is amazing.
It has a few glitches, which I hope will get fixed. The metrics reporting is a bit broken and has errors when saving numbers that aren't integers. If you place 3.44 for example, it will not be saved :(
Anyway, I can work around that. But we finally have reports and they are awesome to read and write. great job!
A big update this week - Team Collaboration. You can give you team access to limited areas so for instance your marketing guy can update marketing, your finance girl updates the finance stuff. You, as CEO, then read it write a short summary and send the report out to your investors. You even get notified when they view it.
More awesomeness based on user feedback coming soon
Thanks everyone for your comments. Since launching in October we've zapped a load of bugs and added quite a few of the features that have been requested including the ability to give access to your team, re-ordering metrics and areas and a wizard to help you get set up. Do let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see added. We've got our own ideas but it's always good to hear from those using it.
