Update Venture DNA and Select Trajectory
Archive the finalised Adjacent Market Opportunity Scan in the governance data room and update the core Venture DNA record. Select the subsequent operational or strategic task based on whether the decision is to expand, pivot, or consolidate.
Formalising the data room update embeds the findings into the venture's institutional memory and strategic baseline. It establishes immediate momentum by converting insights directly into actionable, sequential venture tasks.
You must provide an updated data room containing the signed-off artefact, an updated Venture DNA reflecting adjacent opportunity decisions, and a formally selected next task logged in the venture management system.
