How a startup is usually structured
Early-stage companies are shallow: two founders split the work and nearly everyone reports to one of them. This template shows a seed-stage team of about a dozen, with open roles drawn as dashed cards so investors and candidates can see where the next hires go.
Keep it to two or three layers
At this size a chart with four layers usually means titles are ahead of the work. Most seed teams have founders, a few leads, and individual contributors.
Show open roles
Dashed "open role" cards are the single most useful thing on a startup chart. They turn it into a hiring plan you can drop into a pitch deck.
Name the owner of each function
Even if one person covers sales and marketing, give the function a home so it is obvious who decides.
