You have the money, the team, and the pressure. What you don't have is a control narrative your board can underwrite — yet. CAC is drifting. The metrics are starting to tell a story you can't fully explain. The next 12 weeks are about changing that before your Series B investors ask you to.
No application. No waitlist. Your first live session is this Thursday.

Raised by operators in the network
Exits and acquisitions
Unicorns built or scaled
IPOs
Active operator mentors
These aren't advisors. These are operators who've been in your seat, made your decisions, and are back in the room every week to help you make yours.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is for B2B SaaS and AI founders between $5M and $25M ARR who have real growth but are starting to lose the clarity that got them here. The GTM motion that worked at $2M is straining at $10M. CAC is drifting and you don't have a concrete plan to bring it back. The board meetings feel less collaborative and more interrogative. You're managing people who manage people for the first time — and the signal is getting lost in the layers. You know the Series B story needs to be about control and efficiency. Right now, neither word fully describes what you're living. That's not a failure. That's exactly the stage this track is built for.
You have slides. What you don't have is a control narrative — a clear story about what's working, what isn't, and exactly what you're doing about it. The board is starting to notice the difference.
CAC payback is drifting. You know it. Your CFO knows it. You have a theory about why — but not a concrete, operator-tested plan to bring it back before the next investor update.
You're spending all day in meetings you didn't design. You're losing touch with the product. The decisions that used to take you 10 minutes now take three rounds of Slack and a 45-minute call.
You know the Series B process is 12–18 months away. You also know your current metrics don't yet tell the story you need them to tell. You're not sure which numbers to fix first.
You don't need another OKR framework. You need operators who've run a company at your stage to sit in the room and tell you which metrics matter, which meetings to cut, and what the board actually needs to hear.
%20(1093%20x%20781%20px).png)
Every session works on your actual metrics, your actual GTM motion, and your actual board narrative. You leave with three things no Series A founder can raise Series B without.
Not a dashboard someone built for a different company. A live Control Scorecard — built during the sprint, on your actual metrics — that gives you and your board a single source of truth on CAC payback, NRR, burn efficiency, and Rule of 40. You leave knowing exactly what the numbers say, what's driving each trend, and what levers you're pulling to move them. No more assembling the board narrative the night before.
You'll have: A live Control Scorecard — CAC payback, NRR, burn, Rule of 40 in one view · A weekly CEO operating rhythm tied to the metrics that matter · Board meeting prep that takes hours, not days
CAC drifts for specific reasons: wrong ICP mix, inefficient channel allocation, sales cycle length creeping up, or a motion that worked at $2M but was never redesigned for $10M. You'll build a GTM map during the sprint — a live view of every stage of your revenue engine, what's efficient, what's leaking, and what to fix first. Operators who've rebuilt the same engine at your stage, in the room every week, telling you exactly what they'd do.
You'll have: A documented GTM map — ICP, channel, conversion, and CAC by segment · A concrete CAC improvement plan with operator-tested levers · A clear hiring and resource decision tied to the motion you're optimising
![[team]](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/699760e81de7ab959f8142ff_Screenshot%202026-02-19%20at%2020.13.30.png)
Series B investors don't fund growth. They fund growth they can explain, predict, and underwrite. You'll build your Series B narrative during the sprint — on your Control Scorecard, your GTM map, and the trends you've already started moving. Not a story you're hoping holds up. A narrative your investors can stress-test before the first meeting — because you already have.
You'll have: A Series B control narrative grounded in real metrics · A board-ready story that answers the hardest questions before they're asked · The FSC Series A Seal — the credential that shows you built the control layer, not just the growth
Note: These aren't modules. These aren't takeaways. These are the three things that determine whether your company becomes fundable, scalable, and defensible — or stays stuck at the stage you're at right now.
WHAT'S NEXT
Three steps. The first one happens this week.
Enter the CEO Operating Room and join the Series A track. $49/month — no application, no waitlist. Your first live session is this Thursday at 9AM PST. Bring your current biggest question — CAC, board narrative, GTM efficiency, or org design. Leave with a direction.
Every Thursday · 9AM PST · 12PM EST · 6PM CET · Live on Zoom · Free to attend first

When you're ready for the sprint, apply for the Series A Lab. 10 weeks, 8–12 Series A founders, every session working on your actual metrics, GTM motion, and board narrative. Weekly homework tied to your Control Scorecard, your GTM map, and your Series B story. Operators who've run companies at $5M–$25M ARR — in the room every week, telling you what they actually see in your numbers.
From $1,997 per startup · 2 founders can split the cost · 3 monthly installments available
![image of meeting with financial advisors [scene 1]](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/6964c927bc2914f27d0f14eb/69ef67853381d609aa36acd9_with%20Yannick%20Kpodar%20(1200%20x%20630%20px)%20(23).png)
Complete 8 of 10 sprint requirements. Present your Control Scorecard, your GTM map, and your Series B narrative on Demo Day — in front of Series B investors actively looking at Series A-stage companies. Leave with the FSC Series A Seal: the credential that tells every investor you built the control layer before they asked for one.
Every week that passes without the right room is a week your competitors might be in it.
Every Thursday, the Series A Track room has operators who've taken B2B SaaS companies through the exact inflection point you're at — from fast-growing-but-drifting to efficient-and-controlled — and show up every week because this is the stage where the best companies either build the control layer or spend the next two years explaining why they didn't.
$2.2B+ raised collectively. 23+ exits. 12 unicorns built or scaled. 4 IPOs. 25+ operators.
Not advisors who'll tell you what good looks like at scale. Operators who've been in the board meeting where the CAC question came up and they didn't have a clean answer — and built the system that made sure it never happened again. They're in the room every Thursday because Series A founders ask the questions that have specific, operator-tested answers — and generic advice at this stage costs real money.

Every Thursday at 9AM PST — a live conversation for Series A founders, with operators who've built control narratives, fixed drifting CAC, and walked into board meetings with a story that held up. Your metrics. Your GTM map. Your Series B prep. No performance, no pitch. Just the room telling you what they actually see.
Conversations, not lectures. Your numbers in the room, not case studies. Q&A with people who've actually been there.
YOUR PARTNER
The person on the other side of your pre-seed raise.
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.
The difference between Series A founders who raise Series B on their terms and the ones who spend 18 months in a process that doesn't close isn't growth rate. It's having a control narrative — metrics, GTM map, and board story — that investors can underwrite before the first meeting.
Most Series A founders hire a CFO or CRO to solve the metrics problem — and discover the hire needs three months to understand the business before they can fix anything. The Series A Lab builds the control layer first: the scorecard, the GTM map, the board narrative. Then your executive hire has something to run, improve, and own. They're not starting from zero. They're inheriting a system you built and understand.
What you get instead: A Control Scorecard and GTM map built on your actual metrics — ready for the executive who'll own it before they arrive.
A strategy firm will spend six weeks in discovery, build a 60-slide current-state assessment, and hand you a roadmap you'll spend another six months trying to execute. The Series A Lab works on your actual CAC, your actual GTM motion, and your actual board narrative every week — with operators who've fixed the same problems in real time, at your stage, on companies that look like yours.
What you get instead: A live Control Scorecard and GTM map — built during the sprint, owned by you, running before week ten ends.
Scale-up programs at Series A take equity, run on their calendar, and give you frameworks designed for the average growth-stage company — not yours. The Series A Lab takes no equity, starts when your Series B timeline demands it, and works on your specific metrics, your specific GTM map, and your specific board narrative. The operators in the room have run companies at your stage. They're not teaching scale. They're fixing your specific control problem.
What you get instead: Stage-specific, company-specific operator feedback — every week for ten weeks, on your real numbers and your real board narrative.
The worst time to build your control narrative is when you're already in a Series B process. By then you're answering questions about CAC trends you haven't fully diagnosed, explaining efficiency metrics you've been meaning to clean up, and hoping your growth story holds up under real diligence. The Series A Lab builds the narrative during the sprint — on metrics you own, trends you understand, and a board story you've already stress-tested.
What you get instead: A Series B narrative built before the process starts — so the first investor meeting is a conversation, not a scramble.
Every drifting CAC explanation that didn't land, every board meeting where the narrative wasn't tight enough, every Series B process that stalled because the control story wasn't ready — someone in this room has already lived it. They didn't learn it from a framework. They learned it in the room, at real cost, at exactly your stage. Going it alone means paying for those lessons yourself. Being in this room means you don't have to.
What you get instead: 25+ operators who've navigated the Series A-to-B inflection point, built control narratives under board pressure, and show up every Thursday to make sure you don't make the same mistakes they did.

“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.”
