5-Year Business Timeline

Description

This 5-year business timeline roadmap template is designed to help companies visually communicate their journey from foundation to global scaling. The slide showcases five clearly defined phases—Foundation & Vision, Product Development, Launch & Traction, Market Expansion, and Innovation & Scaling—mapped from 2022 through 2026. Each stage is represented with a bold circular icon, bright gradient fills, and concise text descriptions, making it easy to highlight milestones and strategic goals.

The layout follows a left-to-right horizontal flow, with year markers prominently displayed above each stage for chronological clarity. Supporting text beneath each icon provides context, such as early funding, prototyping, customer acquisition, market growth, and technological innovation. This structured design helps audiences quickly grasp the progression of a company’s growth strategy.

The modern, color-coded design ensures visual impact while keeping information clear and digestible. Each milestone is differentiated by warm tones ranging from orange to red, giving the slide a professional yet dynamic aesthetic. Fully editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template allows customization of dates, phases, colors, and icons to fit specific business timelines. Whether presenting to stakeholders, investors, or internal teams, this timeline is an effective tool to communicate progress and future direction.
