WHY THIS EXISTS
Product, GTM, capital, team, board. The decisions compound. The advice doesn't.
![[background image] image of a workspace with a laptop (for an ai developer tools)](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/6a00d6146060efa8a322589c_Screenshot%202026-05-10%20at%2021.01.31.png)
Social media gives you frameworks. Random mentors give you opinions. Your board gives you pressure. None of it is grounded in what's actually happening inside your company — the metrics, the motion, the decisions you're three weeks from making.
When the ICP stops converting, when outbound stops working, when the investor asks a question you can't cleanly answer — you're solving it alone, in real time, usually with the wrong inputs and not enough time.
LinkedIn posts give you frameworks. Accelerators end. Slack communities fill up with noise. Your investors have their own agenda. None of it gives you a structured, honest feedback loop from people who've actually done this.
You know the number. You don't always know what it means. CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, Rule of 40 — the numbers your board and investors are looking at — aren't always the ones on your dashboard. The gap between those two realities is where rounds stall.
Most of the decisions that determine whether a company reaches Series A or stalls at $2M ARR aren't made in board meetings. They're made alone, on a Tuesday, with incomplete data and no one in the room who's done it before. The CEO Operating Room is built for that Tuesday.
This is not a community where people post links. Every week has a structure. Every session has a format. You show up with a real problem. You leave with a real answer.
You show up with your real situation — the ICP that felt right six months ago but isn't converting, the outbound that worked at $1M ARR and stopped at $3M, the pipeline that looks healthy but isn't closing, the channel you scaled too early, the message that lands in the room but dies in the inbox.The room responds with the kind of direct, experienced feedback that usually only happens in a board meeting or a closed VC call.
What gets covered:
→ When your ICP feels right but the motion still isn't repeatable
→ Outbound that worked at $1M ARR and why it stopped working at $3M
→ Founder-led sales to first hire: what breaks when you delegate too early
→ Channel selection: why most founders pick the wrong one and why it takes too long to find out
→ Pipeline quality vs. pipeline volume — how to tell the difference before it shows up in your forecast45 minutes · Members only · Bring your real question

You bring the actual decision you're stuck on — the roadmap that keeps getting reprioritized by whoever had the last customer conversation, the AI feature that works in a demo but hasn't moved retention, the build vs. buy trade-off you've been avoiding, the product org that's growing but producing less than it did when it was smaller.The room responds with direct feedback from operators who have shipped product at scale and investors who have seen what separates the ones that compound from the ones that stall.
What gets covered:
→ When you have product-market fit but can't scale it
→ Roadmap prioritization when everyone has a strong opinion and the backlog keeps winning
→ When to build AI into your core product vs. when it's a distraction
→ Where AI is genuinely compressing execution time — and where it's creating technical debt you haven't noticed yet
→ Build vs. buy: when to own the technology and when to stop pretending you should

Most founders at seed know their ARR. Most founders at Series A think they know their unit economics. The ones who actually do are rare — and investors can tell in the first ten minutes.You bring the actual problem — the metrics you're not sure how to present, the burn conversation your board is circling, the investor who passed without a real explanation, the NRR that's good but not good enough, the financial model that hasn't been stress-tested by someone who's actually done a deal.The room responds with specific, direct feedback that most founders only get after a deal falls apart or a board meeting goes sideways.
What gets covered:
→ CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, runway, Rule of 40 — what actually matters at each stage
→ How to build an investor narrative that holds up in a room
→ What seed, Series A, and Series B investors are actually optimizing for
→ When to raise, how much to raise, and how not to raise from a position of weakness
→ How to read your own metrics before an investor does — and fix what's broken before it becomes the conversation

Always-on. Stage-organized. No noise.
Most founder Slack groups are graveyards of unanswered questions and links nobody clicks. This one isn't. The CEO Operating Room Slack is organized by stage and function — GTM, metrics, capital, leadership — so every conversation is relevant to where you are right now. It's where you post the draft before the board meeting, pressure-test the pricing decision before you make it, and ask the question you're not ready to ask in a live session yet.
The people responding have dealt with your exact situation. Not approximately. Not in a different industry. The same ARR, the same motion, the same pressure. They'll tell you what they actually think — because that's the only reason they're here.
The operating system your company runs on — already built.
Every session is recorded and searchable in the member library. But the deeper asset is what's built up alongside it: control scorecard templates, GTM leak maps, ICP definition worksheets, financial models, hiring sequencing plans, and benchmark data from operators who've run these numbers at your stage. Not frameworks someone wrote about. Tools someone actually used.
Most founders spend weeks building from scratch what's already here. You copy it, adapt it to your stack, and ship it. The library grows every week — and compounds the longer you're a member.
Every session is anchored by Yannick and supported by a rotating cast of operators, exited founders, and active investors — matched to the week's topic. No paid speakers. No passive observers. People who've done it and will tell you what they actually think.
Room Lead
I built this because the room I needed didn't exist. When the board was asking questions I couldn't answer, when the raise wasn't closing, when I didn't know if the problem was me or the market — there was no one to call who'd actually been there and had no agenda.
I've spent 15 years on both sides of the table — scaling B2B SaaS companies to $45M+ ARR as a VP and CMO, and backing founders as a GP at Aventra Capital. I've helped teams raise $396M. I've also been the founder who didn't know what was wrong.
Full Stack CEO is that room. I show up every week because the founders in here are building something real — and they deserve feedback from someone who sits on both sides of the table.
The room is real. The operators are real. The only question is whether you're in it.
$2.2B+ raised collectively. 23+ exits. 12 unicorns built or scaled. 4 IPOs. 25+ operators showing up every week. These aren't people who once built a company and now talk about it. They're in the room because early-stage founders ask the questions that actually matter — and they have the receipts to answer them.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
Every session has a format. You bring a real problem. The room gives direct feedback. You leave with something specific.
— A sharper diagnosis of the problem you brought
— 2–3 concrete options you hadn't fully mapped
— One decision made or one next action assigned
— Direct operator feedback on your specific situation — not a generic framework

— Your GTM motion pressure-tested by people who've rebuilt one mid-scale
— Your unit economics reviewed by operators who've done the deal
— Your product decisions stress-tested by someone who's shipped at your next stage
— Operating assets from the library adapted to your stack

— A cleaner investor narrative built on your real metrics
— A board conversation you walked into prepared
— A GTM, product, or capital decision you made with better inputs than you'd have had alone
— A room of peers who know your business and will hold you to what you said you'd do
IS THIS FOR YOU?
✅ You're a B2B SaaS or applied-AI founder/CEO between first revenue and $25M ARR
✅ You care about control over GTM, metrics, and capital — not just top-line growth
✅ You're willing to share real numbers and real situations — not a sanitised version of them
✅ You want direct, experienced feedback — not encouragement and frameworks
✅ You prefer a small, serious room over a huge Slack where nothing moves
✅ You're willing to show up consistently and contribute as well as receive
❌ You're building B2C, crypto, or non-software businesses
❌ You mainly want a place to pitch services, raise for your fund, or network broadly
❌ You avoid metrics — CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, Rule of 40 are not optional topics here
❌ You're not ready to share what's actually happening in your company
❌ You're looking for inspiration, not feedback
HOW FOUNDERS USE IT
![[background image]](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/6a00d5ca3a67903caa9dc521_Screenshot%202026-05-10%20at%2021.00.12.png)
A pre-seed AI founder joins with a strong technical vision but scattered feedback on what to build first and how to show investable traction. Every conversation pulls them in a different direction. The advice surface is all opinions, no data.
Over the first few months, they use GTM Office Hours to pressure-test their ICP, AI & Product Office Hours to make the build vs. buy call on their core feature, and the asset library to build a control dashboard on real (if early) data. By the time they're ready to raise, the pre-seed story is grounded in what they proved — not what they think investors want to hear.
![image of innovative data solutions [digital project]](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/6a00d59d7913d518ba20dc44_Screenshot%202026-05-10%20at%2020.59.27.png)
A seed-stage CEO closes their round with early traction but a GTM motion that still runs on founder instinct. Deals close when they're in the room. Nothing else works consistently yet.
They spend six months in the Operating Room using GTM Office Hours to rebuild the motion systematically, Capital & Control Office Hours to get their unit economics investor-ready, and the Slack room to pressure-test the decisions before taking them to the board. By the time Series A conversations start, the metrics tell a clean story — and they can defend every number in it.
An $8M ARR SaaS CEO joins feeling out of control. Burn is up. GTM focus is unclear. The board is starting to ask harder questions about efficiency and the answers aren't ready.
They use Capital & Control Office Hours to diagnose the leak — not guess at it. GTM Office Hours to make a clear call on which channel to double down on and which to stop. The Slack room to work through the hard conversation with a co-founder about roles. Three months later, the Control Scorecard is real, the board narrative is clean, and the next conversation is about growth — not survival.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
