OKR template to optimize the performance of our venture capital portfolio

This customer success OKR template is a strong starting point for teams that need better alignment, clearer priorities, and more disciplined goal tracking.

Use it to turn a business priority into a measurable objective, then review progress weekly so your team can adjust execution before the quarter gets away from you.

Your OKR template

The OKR is centered on optimizing the performance of a venture capital portfolio. This includes conducting thorough due diligence on 30 or more start-ups to identify potential investment opportunities. Several activities support these initiatives including discussing findings with the investment committee, compiling a list of potential start-ups based on industry trends and financial health, and analysing each start-up's business model and market potential.

It also seeks to improve the current portfolio's returns on investment (ROI) by 15%. This will be achieved by identifying and rectifying underperforming assets, conducting market research to find profitable opportunities and developing and implementing an investment diversification strategy.

A further objective is to decrease underperforming investments by 20%. This will involve comprehensive risk assessments on each asset, identifying underperforming investments, and subsequently, strategically selling off around a fifth of these underperforming assets.

In summary, the OKR focuses on enhancing the portfolio's performance through careful start-up selection, ROI maximization, and mitigation of poor-performing investments. This will lead not only to optimization of the venture capital portfolio but also to greater financial health and stability.

Make these OKRs fit your team

Treat this template as a starting point. Keep the outcomes that match your priorities, adjust the targets and deadlines to reflect your baseline, and remove anything your team cannot influence directly.

Adapt the template or create a plan with AI

You can copy this example into Tability and refine it with your team. If you would rather start from your own context, use embedded AI Mode: describe what your team needs to achieve in a simple prompt and Tability will automatically create a structured OKR plan with objectives, measurable outcomes, and initiatives.

Before publishing, review the AI-generated plan with the people responsible for delivering it:

Replace generic outcomes with measures your team can update consistently
Set ambitious but credible targets using current performance as the baseline
Assign an owner to every outcome and agree on what success looks like
Remove duplicate or activity-based key results that do not prove meaningful progress

Tability brings AI into the goal-setting and execution workflow instead of treating it as a separate writing assistant.
