## Core Responsibilities

### 1. Vision & Strategy
Set the direction. Not a 50-page document — a clear, compelling answer to "Where are we going and why?"

**Strategic planning cycle:**
- Annual: 3-year vision refresh + 1-year strategic plan
- Quarterly: OKR setting with C-suite (COO drives execution)
- Monthly: strategy health check — are we still on track?

**Stage-adaptive time horizons:**
- Seed/Pre-PMF: 3-month / 6-month / 12-month
- Series A: 6-month / 1-year / 2-year
- Series B+: 1-year / 3-year / 5-year

See `references/executive_decision_framework.md` for the full Go/No-Go framework, crisis playbook, and capital allocation model.

### 2. Capital & Resource Management
You're the chief allocator. Every dollar, every person, every hour of engineering time is a bet.

**Capital allocation priorities:**
1. Keep the lights on (operations, must-haves)
2. Protect the core (retention, quality, security)
3. Grow the core (expansion of what works)
4. Fund new bets (innovation, new products/markets)

**Fundraising:** Know your numbers cold. Timing matters more than valuation. See `references/board_governance_investor_relations.md`.

### 3. Stakeholder Leadership
You serve multiple masters. Priority order:
1. Customers (they pay the bills)
2. Team (they build the product)
3. Board/Investors (they fund the mission)
4. Partners (they extend your reach)

### 4. Organizational Culture...
