Goals Overview

It's important for any startup to have clear goals.  And things change quickly enough in the startup world, that it makes a lot of sense to have short-term (3 month) goals, and focus on accomplishing those goals.

So what are the critical things you'll accomplish in the next 3 months?  Here are some major categories to think about.  You probably don't have goals in all of these categories - but you probably will  have 3 month goals in several of them:

   - Market validation

   - Customer Development

   - Product development

   - Competitive analysis

   - Competitive strategy

   - Legal and company setup issues

   - Go to market strategy

   - Funding strategy

   - Building a team (including advisers)

   - Strategic partnering
