Stages for  Tech Startups rising in every area

1. Long-term vision

There are several names to describe this phase: company mission, big dream, etc. But nothing else is the vision of where the company can go in the long run. Nobody should start a business to pay the bill for the month, but of achieving better results in the long run. Especially if you are creating a startup.

Tools that can help your startup in long-term planning:

Business Model Canvas

Business model type planning. It shows the entrepreneur in a simplified way all the most important aspects of his business. Allowing in a single afternoon to build a company’s vision of the future.

Lean Canvas

2. Medium-term vision

It is necessary to draw strategies to materialize your dream. The long-term vision in general is still far from the reality of the company’s employees. And even if the founder can see this path clearly, it is necessary to bring to everyone’s reality what this path is.

Tools that can help your startup in mid-term planning:

Quarter, semester, or year planning

Every company should start planning sales, product development, profitability, and so on. Even if at first it is a little more difficult to get these numbers right, the exercise is important for the entrepreneur’s development.

Depending on the stage of your business, this schedule can be shorter (a quarter for example) or longer (a year for example).

18-month planning

This planning helps to see the entrepreneur’s vision of the future and growth and is usually the ideal period for the company to need to raise more resources in a new round of investment. Thus, the investor is analyzing whether or not he likes the company’s growth rates, as well as whether it will reach a sufficient stage for a new capital injection.

Triannual planning or five-year plan

For startups, this is often almost the long-term view. Plans that look 3 or more years ahead are unlikely to materialize in this way, but they help the entrepreneur to understand the potential or not of the scale of their business, as well as help in the startup’s valuation view.

3. Short-term vision

Tools that can help your startup in short-term planning:

Scrum

Scrum is an agile management methodology that was created to guide the product development process in information technology companies.

But it can be adapted to manage your company’s day-to-day. The general concept is to break your mid-range plan into one- or two-week sprints. And plan the details of these sprints just at the beginning of each of them.

List of the “to do” of the week
