Board Meeting Prep (board-prep)

Prepares you for the adversarial version of your board: numbers cold, hard questions anticipated, and an honest narrative that keeps the room.

What it does

Turns board meetings, investor updates and fundraising presentations into a rehearsed, adversarial-scenario exercise.

  • Numbers-cold checklist: MRR/ARR and MoM growth, burn and runway, headcount, CAC/LTV by channel, NRR, pipeline metrics, churn detail, margins, open hires
  • Adversarial question bank: revenue misses, runway, product/roadmap slippage, team risk, competitive threats
  • Narrative structure: where we are (honest) → what we learned → what we got wrong → dated owned actions → the concrete ask from the room
  • Mock board simulation: someone plays your toughest director; every question that made you defensive becomes a prep item
  • Director-by-director prep: operator, financial investor, strategic investor, independent
  • Checklists: 48 hours before, day of, and 24-hour follow-up after

Who it's for

  • Startup founders and CEOs running a board
  • CFOs/COOs preparing investor updates or a raise
  • Leaders facing high-stakes executive reviews
  • Chiefs of staff building the board deck and Q&A for a CEO

Examples

  1. Quarter with a revenue miss: ask it to prep a board meeting where revenue came in 20% under plan — you get pipeline vs. conversion vs. capacity questions plus a draft that names the miss before the board does.
  2. Nine months of runway: it drills the "what if the round takes 9 months", "what do you cut first", and "is there a no-raise path" questions.
  3. Live rehearsal: have Claude role-play your hardest director, then list only the questions where you hesitated for another round of prep.
