When to use it

Company profile slides, the "About us" page, the team and history slide of a pitch deck and anniversary material. Each year can hold several events separated by colons; they stack vertically under the year.

Making it yours

  • One line per point in time: year : event one : event two, with any number of events.
  • Granularity can be years, quarters or months, written as 2024 Q3 or 2024-06.
  • To group years into phases (start-up, growth, expansion) use section Phase name; the "Project milestones timeline" template shows how.
  • Avoid colons inside event text; the colon is the separator.

Draw a company history timeline in Mermaid timeline syntax titled Company history, from founding in 2018 to a Series B and international expansion in 2024, with one or two milestones per year (product launches, funding rounds, user milestones, new offices), separated by colons within a year. Output only the mermaid code block.

FAQ

How are the colours assigned?

Each point in time (or each section) takes the next colour in the theme's section palette; the four designed themes each have their own set. Individual colours cannot be set.

Can the timeline be vertical?

Mermaid timelines are horizontal only. With many years the diagram gets wide; export SVG or a 3x PNG and scale it in the slide, or split it into two diagrams.

The event text is too long

A point in time can hold several events, so split a long sentence into two, or insert <br/> for a line break.
