Strategic Growth Planning for a Tech Startup

Overview

A Series A-funded tech startup approached Yalgar Consulting to build a strategic growth roadmap that aligned their vision with tangible execution plans. The company needed clarity around scaling operations, hiring, product roadmap, and funding milestones.

The Challenge

Despite strong early traction, the startup was experiencing:

• Lack of direction beyond MVP success
• Misalignment between founders, engineering, and sales
• Cash burn with no clear 12–24 month runway plan
• Difficulty in prioritizing product features for user growth

They needed structure, strategic foresight, and a tactical plan to prepare for Series B funding.

Our Approach

We conducted a 90-Day Strategic Growth Sprint involving:

1. Founder & Team Workshops

• Aligned long-term vision with quarterly business objectives
• Mapped key functions: Product, Marketing, Sales, Engineering

2. Product-Market Fit Analysis

• Deep-dive into user segments, churn, and usage data
• Identified core feature sets driving retention and growth

3. Operational Scaling Blueprint

• Built a hiring roadmap with roles and timelines
• Developed a performance dashboard for OKRs tracking
• Optimized internal workflows with SaaS tools (ClickUp, Notion, HubSpot)

4. Funding & Financial Strategy

• Created a 24-month financial model
• Defined milestones for Series B readiness (MRR, user base, CAC)
• Coached founders for investor pitch readiness

The Results

Our Strategic Growth Planning delivered impressive outcomes:

• Clarity across all teams on growth goals and responsibilities
• 32% increase in MRR within 3 months post-engagement
• Reduced burn rate by 18% through focused operational improvements
• Investor-ready pitch and Series B fundraising materials completed

Yalgar helped the startup evolve from a product-focused team to a well-aligned growth engine.
