SEED · $500K–$3M ARR

Still the best salesperson in your company? That's a ceiling.

Build the GTM motion your first hire can run — before you make the hire.

THE SIGNAL

Founder-led sales doesn't scale. It just hides the problem until it's expensive.

Every deal running through you means you can't forecast, you can't hire, and you can't raise with confidence. The motion that got you to $1M ARR stalls at $3M. We help you see the ceiling before you hit it — and build the repeatable motion before your first AE starts.

WHAT WE DO

We build your outbound engine, ICP map, and pipeline model — in the room.

Stand up Clay for enriched outbound sequences targeting your top 3 ICP segments. Map your pipeline stages and conversion rates. Identify where deals are stalling and why. Build the playbook your first hire runs from day one. Betty Mok grew LinkedIn's demand gen to $100M+ in annual bookings. Megan Ketchum drove $175M in new business at LinkedIn and re-tooled Rippling for multi-product GTM. They help run this exact session on Wednesdays.

THE OUTPUT

Demo Day in front of investors writing checks at your stage.

Not a practice pitch. Every Lab ends with a real Demo Day — active investors, your actual metrics, a narrative built on what you proved during the sprint. Denis Descause raised zero external capital and sold to LVMH. Juan Carlos Soto is a Venture Partner at Shasta. They're in the room.

THE OPERATOR BENCH

Specialists in the room when it matters most.

$2.2B+ raised collectively. 23+ exits. 12 unicorns built or scaled. 4 IPOs. 25+ operators showing up every week.

They show up in the sessions, review your work, and give feedback they'd stand behind in any board room.

“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.”

“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.”

YOUR OPERATING PARTNER

Yannick Kpodar

15+ years scaling B2B SaaS across the US and Europe.

Helped teams raise $396M, reach unicorn status, and build GTM systems that hold up in any board room. Founder of Full Stack CEO.


I've sat on both sides of the seed-to-Series-A table. As a VP and CMO scaling B2B SaaS companies through the exact stage you're in right now. And as a GP at Aventra Capital evaluating the GTM motions, dashboards, and narratives that seed founders bring to Series A meetings. I know what makes investors say yes — and I know exactly what's missing when they don't. I lead every cohort session, run every hot seat, and own the sprint arc from Week 1 to Demo Day.

How FSC is different

1v1 comparisons vs accelerators, online courses, going at it alone, or waiting for traction before getting started.

WEEK 12

You present to the room.

Every Seed Lab ends with Demo Day. Not a ceremony. A forcing function.

image of a marketing strategy meeting
WHAT YOU PRESENT

Your Series A story — built on 12 weeks of real operating work.

Your ICP decision, your documented motion, your live dashboard numbers, your product health signal, your ownership map, your "Now → Next" traction narrative, and what capital buys you in the next 12 months. You've spent 12 weeks building it on your actual metrics. The cohort has pressure-tested every piece. Demo Day is where you deliver it to investors seeing it for the first time. Expect real questions on your ICP wedge, your CAC proxy, your activation rate, and who runs the machine when you're not in every call.

WHO ATTENDS

Your cohort, your mentors, and stage-matched investors.

Your cohort and the full mentor team. Plus external guests selected for stage relevance: Seed and Series A VCs, growth investors, and operators who've taken companies through the raise you're preparing for — there to give real feedback, not to applaud.

WHAT IT ISN'T

Not a competition. Not a showcase.

Demo Day at FSC has no ranking, no prize, no winner. It's the final sprint — a forcing function to make sure your motion is documented, your numbers are clean, your product signal is tracked, and your narrative holds up under pressure. The feedback is the last session. The relationships that come from it are earned.
