Quarterly Reviews

Introduction to Quarterly Reviews

As a Growth Coach at Volta, it's essential to understand the Quarterly Review process, a key mechanism in our approach to nurturing startup success. These reviews are pivotal in assessing progress, identifying areas of risk, and setting strategic objectives for the upcoming quarter.

Quarterly Review Process Overview

Running the Quarterly Growth Report:

Prior to the end of each quarter, a comprehensive Quarterly Growth Report is generated from the Volta OS.

This report aggregates all pertinent qualitative and quantitative data, including Growth Meeting Notes and Transcripts, Company Updates, Performance Feedback, Support Engagements, Impacts, Advisor Reviews, and Startup Reviews.

Review by the Chief Innovation Officer:

The Chief Innovation Officer (CIO) conducts an in-depth review of each startup team based on the Quarterly Growth Report.

The focus is to assess the risk level in three critical areas – Team, Traction, and Technology – based on the milestones set in the previous quarter.

This step is crucial in determining the startup’s current status and potential areas of risk or concern.

Coach Tagging and Input:

Following the CIO’s review, Growth Coaches are tagged to review the report.

Coaches add their comments and insights in each of the three areas: Team, Traction, and Technology.

This collaborative approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of each startup’s progress and challenges.

Your Role as a Growth Coach in Quarterly Reviews

Collaborative Analysis: Work in tandem with the CIO to provide a complete picture of each startup's progress. Your on-the-ground insights are invaluable in this analysis.

Risk Identification and Mitigation: Assist in identifying potential risks and developing strategies to address them in the upcoming quarter.

Setting New Milestones: Post-review, collaborate with startups to set new milestones or OKRs for the next quarter. These should be specific, measurable, and aligned with the startup’s long-term goals.

Continuous Support: Offer ongoing guidance and support to your startups, helping them to stay on track and make adjustments where necessary.

The Significance of Quarterly Reviews

Data-Driven Decisions: These reviews are fundamental in making informed decisions about each startup’s trajectory and the support required from Volta.

Strategic Alignment: Reviews ensure that the startups’ activities are in line with Volta’s overarching goals and the startups’ long-term objectives.

Feedback Loop: Serve as a vital feedback mechanism, allowing both the startup and the coach to reflect on past performances and plan for future success.
