OKR template to secure $1 million for the pre-seed funding round

This OKR template is a practical starting point for teams that need clearer priorities, measurable outcomes, and better execution habits.

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 primary objective of this OKR (Objectives and Key Results) is to secure $1 million for a pre-seed funding round. The first outcome is to identify and reach out to 50 potential investors by the end of phase 1. The methods to achieve this involve finding potential investors through business directories or networking, locating their contact information, and initiating contact through personalized emails.

The second outcome is to secure investment commitments from at least 50% of the investors reached by the end of the final phase. The initiatives set to achieve this include creating an engaging presentation, conducting regular meetings with interested investors, and finalizing investment commitments through negotiations.

The third outcome aims to secure meetings with at least 25% of the investors identified by phase 2. Strategies to reach this goal involve creating a compelling investment proposal, scheduling meetings with potential investors, and conducting extensive research for effective pitching.

In summary, this OKR revolves around identifying potential investors, successfully pitching to them to secure meetings, and eventually negotiating with them to get investment commitments to reach the $1 million goal for the pre-seed funding round.

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
