Mission Statement
The Mission Statement section/slide should address:
- What the company will do in the next 6-12 months. This should be quantified as much as possible (revenue, product features completed, achieving some level of distribution, or etc.). As the startup evolves the Mission Statement will evolve into its traditional form. Thus for a more mature business, the Mission Statement is very different.
- Somewhere in the presentation, a timeline is often useful to describe past and future events
Some investors ask each officer of a startup to describe the new venture’s mission statement. They hope to find reasonable consensus; but too often do not.
