This PPT slide, part of the 81-slide How to Prepare a Business Plan PowerPoint presentation, titled "TEAM RAMP-UP – EXAMPLES" outlines a framework for assessing various roles within a venture's development stages. It categorizes the contributions of key functions—CEO, Technology, Marketing, and Finance—across several critical phases: Idea and team development, Technology & market validation, Proof of economic viability, Explosive revenue growth, and Sustained earnings growth.

Each role is marked with symbols indicating their involvement or effectiveness at each stage. The CEO role shows a marked absence in the early phases, suggesting that while leadership is crucial, the initial groundwork may rely more on other functions. Technology appears to have a mixed performance, with some involvement in early validation, but lacking in others. Marketing shows a consistent absence in the foundational stages, which may indicate a delayed entry into the venture's lifecycle. Finance also reflects a similar pattern, with limited engagement early on, but more involvement as the venture matures.

The right side of the slide lists specific companies—Excite, Aspect, and Tivoli—possibly as case studies or benchmarks for evaluating the effectiveness of these roles in real-world scenarios. The symbols next to these companies suggest varying degrees of success or alignment with the outlined stages.

This slide serves as a useful tool for understanding how different functions contribute to a venture's success over time. It highlights the importance of aligning roles with the appropriate stages of development, which can inform strategic decisions for resource allocation and team composition. Recognizing these dynamics can enhance a company's approach to ramping up its teams effectively.
