As startups transition from founder-led ventures to institutionalized organizations, governance becomes a critical driver of performance, resilience, and strategic coherence.
This session examines startup governance as an institutional design problem and addresses:
How governance structures evolve across growth stages
The relationship between governance quality and strategic execution
Board composition, control rights, and leadership accountability
Practical governance models for early and mid-stage startups
Led jointly by two strategy and organizational design specialists, this session integrates empirical insights with practitioner frameworks to support sustainable startup growth.
