I've built a tool called the Startup Role Matrix Generator. It takes a defined set of responsibilities for common startup executive roles—Founder, CEO, CTO, and COO—and outputs a markdown-formatted responsibility matrix.
When a startup is growing, especially for those first few executives, it's common for functional ownership to be unclear. People might be wearing multiple hats, and documentation often lags behind the actual work. This tool aims to provide a clear, standardized output that can serve as a starting point for defining these roles.
The generator uses a built-in definition for each role. You don't need to manually format the markdown; the tool handles that. The output is a simple markdown table showing functions down one side and roles across the top, with clear indicators of who owns what. This can help prevent confusion and ensure key areas of the business are covered.
It's for founders, early executives, or anyone involved in setting up the initial leadership structure of a new company. It provides a quick way to get a visual overview of responsibilities.
