3-Stage Venture Development Framework

About this template

This slide lays out a startup journey as three cards in a row, linked by arrows, and the first card includes a three-part chevron strip. Formation covers Mission, Vision and Strategy with bullet points for the founding team and the what, whom, why and how. Validation centres on Lean Startup, with Minimum Viable Product and Validate and Iterate. Growth ends the flow with a Scale-up bar. Use it in pitch decks, investor updates, incubator programmes and early-stage planning. The title, intro paragraph, stage names, bullet text and colours can all be edited, and cards can be resized or reordered to fit your own stages.
