A complete board meeting presentation template for CleanTech startups at the Series B stage. KPI dashboard, financial performance, product update, sales pipeline, and strategic decisions — structured the way experienced boards run effective meetings.
Meeting Cadence
Monthly formal board meeting + bi-weekly audit committee call
Meeting Length
3–4 hours
Pack Deadline
72 hours before meeting
Board Size
5–7 members: CEO, 2 investor directors, 2 independent directors, optional observer seats
Series B board governance is increasingly institutional. Build a dedicated board operations function (can be the CFO or a fractional board secretary). Track all board commitments and action items in a formal tracker reviewed at the start of each meeting.
Cleantech boards often include independent engineers (IEs) or technical advisors. Major project performance issues should be flagged 24 hours before the board meeting — do not present a material performance miss cold in the meeting.
Open with meeting agenda, approved minutes from the prior meeting, and status update on all prior action items. This sets accountability and context before any performance review.
Present current period actuals vs. plan and vs. prior period for all key metrics. Traffic light status (green/yellow/red) on each metric makes the dashboard scannable.
Current headcount vs. plan, new hires this period, open roles, and any departures. Include a brief note on team health and any organizational design changes. Board visibility into executive team changes is a governance requirement.
The most important section — this is why you have a board. Include 2–3 decisions or discussion topics that require board input or approval:
Close the meeting by assigning all action items with owner, deadline, and success criteria. Confirm the next board meeting date. Distribute meeting minutes within 48 hours of the meeting.
5–7 members: CEO, 2 investor directors, 2 independent directors, optional observer seats. Audit and compensation committees are formally constituted.
72 hours before meeting. Board members should have enough time to review all materials and come prepared with questions — not learning the data for the first time during the meeting.
