Full Stack CEO™ is the community, Labs, and live events platform where B2B SaaS and AI founders learn to run product, GTM, metrics, capital, and leadership as one system — with operators, GPs, and exited founders who have done it.

Exited founders, active VCs, and senior SaaS operators who join weekly AMAs, live events, and cohort Labs. Not to inspire you. To get in the room with you.

How Full STACK CEO™ WORKS
Start with the community. Drop into a Lab when the stakes are highest. Go deeper with 1:1 advisory when the decision can't wait. All built on the same operator-led system — from first revenue to Series B.
%20(1093%20x%20781%20px).png)
Your base. A private room for B2B SaaS and AI founders and operators. Every week: CEO sessions, operator AMAs, VC pressure-tests, frameworks, scorecards, and a community of serious peers who are building through the same chapter you are.
Join the FSC Community
When you hit an inflection point — a raise coming, two bad quarters, or growth that's outrunning your systems — you drop into a focused 10-12 week sprint. Small group. Real operators. One scorecard you can defend in any room. Three tracks: Zero to First Revenue (pre-seed), Traction to Repeatable GTM (seed), Series A to B Control (Series A).
Explore labs![[background image] image of topdown photo of desk with laptop (for a food and agtech)](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/6997631d576a00eb74ec3cec_Screenshot%202026-02-19%20at%2020.22.59.png)
When the stakes are highest — a board reset, a major raise, a GTM overhaul — you work directly with an operator-turned-GP who has lived the board pressure, the rebuild, and the raise. Not a coach who read about it.
Schedule CallFree weekly events
Full Stack CEO™ hosts free live events every week on Luma — open to any B2B SaaS or AI founder. Each session features an exited founder, active VC, or senior operator in conversation with Yannick Kpodar. GTM, metrics, fundraising, AI leverage, leadership. No pitch. No slides. Just the conversation.

Three ways in.
One door for every stage. The operating system is the same whether you're closing your first customer or preparing your Series B deck.
CEO Operating Room
From
$49/month ($470/yr)
You join a live room with serious B2B SaaS and AI founders and operators. Weekly sessions. Real frameworks. Peers who understand the chapter you're in.

Weekly CEO conversations on Tuesdays to work through real GTM, metrics, and leadership problems with peers.
Weekly AMAs on Thursdays with tier‑1 operators and VCs to pressure‑test your numbers, decks, and decisions.
Private community of serious B2B SaaS & AI CEOs.
Ongoing library of recorded sessions so you can rewatch top mentors and AMAs.

Stage‑Based Labs (Pre-Seed to Series B)
From
$997/cohort
You run a focused 12-week sprint to fix a big problem before your fundraise. Limited seats per cohort.
INCLUDES Everything in CEO room , PLUS:
10–12 week live sprint with a clear start date, end date, and outcomes for your stage.
Weekly working sessions where you build your scoreboard, GTM plan, and experiments in real time.
Direct feedback from exited founders, operators, and VCs on your metrics, decks, and GTM decisions.

All Labs include access to the CEO Operating Room community for the duration of the cohort sprint.
Advisory
Custom
You work with me directly on GTM, metrics, and board narrative when the stakes are highest.
Everything in CEO ROOM, plus:
4×30‑minute working sessions per month focused on GTM, metrics, and fundraising.
Async support between calls so you can get quick feedback on decks, numbers, and tough decisions.
Deep work on CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, runway, and QBR / board packets.
Design and tuning of your founder‑led sales or early GTM motion at $1M–$25M ARR.
Guidance on Seed–Series B fundraising story, metrics, and investor conversations through the Aventra lens.
A Full Stack CEO sees the whole system: product and AI, GTM, capital, and leadership—not just the function they grew up in. You read CAC payback, NRR, burn, and runway as fluently as product roadmaps and team dynamics.
In a world of AI‑driven leverage and lean teams, your nervous system is now part of the infrastructure. If you can’t stay steady, read the numbers, and lead adults across functions, no tool or hire will save the company.
STAGE‑BASED LABS
A focused 10-12 week sprint for founders at a real inflection point. Small cohort. Exited founders and top operators in the room every week. You leave with one scorecard, one story, and a Demo Day in front of VCs.
For idea / prototype to first revenue
10 weeks. Pre-seed founders. Exited founders and product operators every session. Demo Day with seed-stage investors.
Turn an idea into a product real customers pay for.
Zero to First Revenue is a 10‑week live lab for B2B SaaS and applied‑AI founders at pre‑seed / idea / prototype stage who want to ship fast, find a real problem, and get to first paying users before they run out of conviction or runway.
After 10 weeks, you should be able to:
Clearly describe your ICP and problem, in language that makes real prospects nod.
Ship a focused v1 product built with modern tools (Lovable, Cursor, Supabase, Canva, Gamma, etc.) and actually put it in customers’ hands.
Run a handful of simple experiments that produce pilots, feedback, and first revenue. Not just sign‑ups or conversations.
See your early control dashboard: cash, basic pipeline, learning velocity, and the signals that say “there is something real here.”
Tell a grounded pre‑seed story about what you’ve proven, what’s next, and what new capital would buy you.
For $1M–$5M ARR, pre‑Seed to Seed / early Series A
10 weeks. Seed-stage founders. GTM operators and VCs pressure-testing your motion live.
Demo Day with Series A investors.
Go from scattered wins to a repeatable, fundable machine.
Traction to Repeatable GTM is a 10‑week live lab for B2B SaaS founders between roughly $1M–$5M ARR who have some traction but still rely heavily on founder hustle. The goal is a clear wedge ICP, a simple repeatable GTM motion, and traction metrics investors actually underwrite at Seed and Series A.
After 10 weeks, you should be able to:
Point to one or two ICPs you truly own, with a problem statement that makes prospects and investors lean in, not squint.
Tell a clear “Now → Next” traction story: where revenue comes from today, what you’re doubling down on, and what you’ll prove in the next 6–12 months.
Open a simple Traction Dashboard and see pipeline by stage, win rate, cycle length, burn, runway, and a rough CAC/payback proxy you can explain
Run a founder‑led GTM motion every week that produces qualified conversations, pipeline, and learning on purpose—not by luck.
Walk into Seed/Series A meetings knowing exactly which GTM and control signals matter and where you already meet or beat the bar.
Keep in mind: this isn’t about perfect decks; it’s about having a real system behind the slides, so every update compounds instead of resetting the story.
For $5M–$10M ARR, Series A–B
12 weeks. Series A founders. Operators who've run CAC, NRR, and board relationships at scale.
Demo Day with seed-stage investors.
Turn rising complexity into investor‑grade control.
Series A to B Control is a 12‑week live lab for B2B SaaS CEOs who feel growth, headcount, and markets multiplying faster than control. The work is to bring CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, and Rule of 40 back into a healthy band, and show up to the board with a story they can believe in.
After 12 weeks, you should be able to:
Bring CAC payback back under control for your segment, instead of watching it drift past 18–24 months with no clear plan.
Lift NRR by focusing expansion and retention where it really moves the needle, not with random upsells.
Reduce burn multiple toward growth‑stage benchmarks so each new dollar of ARR costs less, not more.
Move your Rule of 40 story closer to “healthy” territory by aligning growth, margins, and spend.
Rebuild board confidence with one Control Scorecard, a clear GTM plan, and a narrative that explains trade‑offs before investors ask.
Know exactly which ICPs, motions, and markets deserve more fuel (and which to stop funding), even when internal opinions conflict.
For B2B SaaS & AI founders at every stage.
Most programs optimize for brand names and demo days. Full Stack CEO™ is built for the chapter after — when you're executing for real, your metrics are on the line, and you need a room that meets you at your actual level.
People who have actually done it
Not coaches. Not consultants. Exited founders, active VCs, and senior operators who have raised, scaled, and sold B2B SaaS companies — and show up every week to tell you what they actually think.
Every session works from actual metrics — your CAC payback, your burn, your GTM motion. Not case studies. Not frameworks on slides. Your business, in the room, in real time.
Not just content about what VCs think. Active investors from first check to Series B — in live AMAs, telling you what they'd fund and what would make them pass.

You leave with a Control Scorecard, a GTM map, and a board narrative — tools that run your business, not notes from a course.
Real mentorship, active participation, and direct feedback from CEOs, VCs, exited founders, and Tier 1 operators who've gone from 0 to exit. Operator-led. Boardroom-tested.
![[background image] image of a busy hospital corridor](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/69bbd8d8734219c2bd65da19_with%20Yannick%20Kpodar%20(1200%20x%20800%20px)%20(2).png)
“I've worked with companied from 98,000 employees and $30B in revenue to 5 employees and $1M in revenue. I've acquired and been acquired. I've been through an IPO and also through a meltdown. I've seen a lot and I'm here to help CEOs make better decision from day one.”
![[background image] image of collaborative workspace (for a blockchain and cryptocurrency)](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/69bbdefdfce06ff6b73a9f7b_with%20Yannick%20Kpodar%20(1200%20x%20800%20px)%20(4).png)
“I've been a CEO and I know it's a pretty lonely job. There's a million things to navigate. I've sat on many boards and my objective is to be a truth teller to CEOs. To provide them with insights to course correct and make the best decisions for the best path forward.”
%20(5).png)
“I've done pretty much all of the roles inside in software service company from strategy to pre-sales, sales support, consulting, HR, and CEO. I have a 360 view of a company today across several industries. My objective is to help founders go from origins to Series B.”
%20(6).png)
“I've led product and digital at 4 different hypergrowth stages. Smallest scaled it from $5M to $25M. Largest from $250M to $340M. All four led to an acquisition. This next chapter in my life is about value creation, mentoring, advising. I sit on six board and I'm here to help.”
Meet THE founder
I’m Yannick Kpodar, a 2x VP/CMO turned General Partner at Aventra Capital and founder of Full Stack CEO™. Over the last 15+ years I’ve helped B2B SaaS teams raise over $396M, reach unicorn valuation, and scale from single‑digit ARR to $45M+ across the US and Europe - mostly in the messy middle you are in now.
After experiencing both the upside and the cost of hypergrowth — board pressure, identity collapse, financial strain, and a full rebuild — the mission became clear: build disciplined operator-led systems that give B2B SaaS and AI CEOs investor-grade control over GTM, capital, metrics, and leadership.
After the rebuild, one thing was clear: the room I needed didn't exist. Not for founders like us. Full Stack CEO™ is that room.
A quick overview of who Full Stack CEO™ is for, how the CEO Operating Room, stage-based Labs, and live events work, and what you can expect before you decide your next step.
Join the CEO Operating Room from $49/month. Attend a free live event this week. Or apply for the next Lab cohort. There's a door at every stage.
