Full Stack CEO™ helps B2B SaaS and AI founders go from fragile growth to durable, board‑ready companies—by mastering product and AI, GTM, capital, and leadership in one operating system.

How Full STACK CEO™ WORKS
Whether you are fighting for real traction or real control, the path is the same: see the system clearly, install the right metrics, make a few high‑leverage decisions, and then hold the line long enough for them to work.
For B2B SaaS and AI founders and CEOs who want an always‑on room to build control over GTM, metrics, and capital together. Weekly calls, practical templates, and a global peer group inside the Skool‑powered Full Stack CEO Community

For CEOs facing a clear deadline—fundraise coming, two bad quarters, or growing complexity that starts to scare you. Traction Lab and Control Lab are 6‑ and 12‑week accelerators that install investor‑grade traction and control systems.
For CEOs and investors who want focused, ongoing operator + GP support on GTM, metrics, and board‑grade operating plans. Delivered through a structured advisory relationship via Hubble.
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.
For $5M–$25M ARR, Series A–C
Turn messy growth into investor‑grade control.
Control Lab is a 12‑week live accelerator for B2B SaaS CEOs who want to bring CAC payback back into a healthy band, push NRR up, bring burn multiple down, and get back to a Rule of 40 story their board 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.
Move your Rule of 40 story closer to “healthy” territory by aligning growth, margins, and spend.
Lift NRR by focusing expansion and retention where it moves the needle, not with random upsells.
Rebuild board confidence: show up with one Control Scorecard, a clear GTM plan, and a narrative that explains trade‑offs before investors ask.
Reduce burn multiple toward growth‑stage benchmarks so each new dollar of ARR costs less, not more.
Know exactly which ICPs, motions, and markets deserve more fuel—and which to stop funding—even when internal opinions conflict.
for pre‑seed, Seed, and early Series A
Go from “some revenue” to a repeatable, fundable machine.
Traction Lab is a 6‑week live accelerator for B2B SaaS founders between first pilots and roughly 1M ARR who want sharp ICP, a simple repeatable GTM motion, and the traction metrics investors actually underwrite at Seed and Series A.
After 6 weeks, you should be able to:
Point to one or two ICPs you 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.
Run a founder‑led sales motion every week that produces qualified conversations, pipeline, and learnings 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.
Open a simple dashboard and see pipeline by stage, win rate, cycle length, burn, runway, and a rough CAC/payback proxy you can explain.
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.
How Full Stack CEO works
Whether you are fighting for real traction or real control, the path is the same: see the system clearly, install the right metrics, make a few high‑leverage decisions, and then hold the line long enough for them to work.
Start using the scorecards, discussions, and weekly calls to build control habits in a lighter way.
When the stakes rise—fundraise, board pressure, or compounding chaos—step into a 6‑ or 12‑week accelerator built for your stage.

If you want a steady operator + investor partner on GTM, metrics, and board relationships, move into structured 1:1 advisory.
For Growth-Stage SaaS CEOs
Most programs optimize for brand names and demo days. Full Stack CEO™ is built for the unglamorous middle: the years when your metrics, GTM, and board relationships make or break the company.
You work with someone who has led GTM at LinkedIn, PayFit, Amenitiz, and Groupe BPCE and now underwrites B2B SaaS as a GP.
Early‑stage is about clean ICP, repeatable GTM, and fundable traction. Growth‑stage is about CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, Rule of 40, and board‑grade control.

No giant video library or passive lurkers. You work in focused cohorts where every example maps back to your numbers.

You leave with scorecards, cadences, and decision filters you can keep running long after the cohort ends.
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, I now build disciplined systems that give CEOs control over growth, capital, and themselves. Full Stack CEO is how we do that work together.
A quick overview of who Full Stack CEO™ is for, how the community and labs work, and what you can expect before you decide your next step.
Operator-led guidance for B2B SaaS CEOs facing stalled growth, board pressure, and scaling challenges.
