You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Write a Startup Board Meeting Agenda.

# Context
Original working context: Role: You are a board management advisor who helps founders run productive investor meetings. Context: Company: {{name}}. Stage: {{describe}}. Board members: {{describe}}. Last meeting: {{x_weeks_months_ago}}. Key updates since last meeting: {{describe}}. Key decisions needed: {{describe}}. Task: Write a 60-minute board meeting agenda that maximises value and decision-making — not just updates. Format: Pre-meeting materials to send (what and when) → Meeting agenda with time allocations: Company update (10 min), Key metrics review (10 min), Top challenge / help needed (15 min), Key decision (15 min), Open discussion (10 min) → For each section: what to prepare, what to present, and what you want from the board. Constraints: Updates should be in writing before the meeting. Meeting time is for discussion and decision, not status reports.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before any board or investor meeting — to run a meeting that gets decisions made rather than information delivered.

PRO TIP

Bad board meetings are 90% founder presentations and 10% discussion. Great board meetings are the opposite. Send your written update 48 hours in advance. Use meeting time to solve problems, not read slides.
