The 5 Pillars of the Full Stack CEO
Move from Founder-Led Sales to Pipeline Repeatability.
Stop relying on hustle. Install the structured outbound and pipeline metrics that VCs actually underwrite.
Master Your numbers. Secure your board meeting.
CAC Payback, NRR, Burn Multiple, and Rule of 40 are signals you read—not metrics you report.
Build a Defensible GTM Narrative for your Series A Lead.
Manage your board, craft an investor-grade story, and secure secondary sales when the stakes are highest.
Deploy Agentic GTM to Scale without Headcount.
Use autonomous sales and CS agents to automate operations and maintain lean operations in the age of AI.
Inner Control: Stay Regulated Under Extreme Board Pressure.
Learn CROSS-functional and CROSS-cultural decision-making to scale culture without political drift.

THE CORE FRICTION
Most founders became CEO because they were exceptional at one specific discipline: product, sales, engineering, or vision. Overnight, the job demanded mastery of the entire stack simultaneouslyGTM, metrics, capital, and leadershipwithout a standardized playbook.
Because the stakes are so high, founders perform a level of confidence they don't fully have and a certainty about strategies they aren't sure of. This "performance" is the actual problem. It creates a culture where you can never be honest about what is actually broken, and what you cannot name, you cannot fix. What goes unnamed compounds in your metrics, your team dynamics, and your own nervous system until the pressure becomes a structural liability.
In the 2026 venture landscape, vision is no longer enough to de-risk a round. Investors are now underwriting your Control.r ability to read $CAC$ payback, $NRR$, and burn multiples as signals you act on, not just numbers you report. If you are scaling a mess, you aren't building a company; you are managing a crisis.
Full Stack CEO™ is the one room in your professional life where the performance ends and the real work of institutional excellence starts. We don't just "coach" you through the anxiety; we install the operator-led systems that turn founder-led chaos into a defensible, venture-ready operating standard.
"I built Full Stack CEO because the room I needed during my own hypergrowth rebuild didn't exist. After helping B2B SaaS teams raise $396M and scale from zero to $45M+ ARR, it became clear: growth without a disciplined operating system is not success. It’s a liability. In this room, we stop the performance and start the work of building a company that institutional capital can actually underwrite."

HOW IT 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 where you can actually say what's broken — and work on it with people who've been there. Weekly sessions, operator AMAs, VC pressure-tests, scorecards. The peers in this room are building through the same chapter you are.
Enter the Room
When the inflection point hits (a raise coming, two bad quarters, growth 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).
Find your Lab![[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 decision can't wait (a board reset, a major raise, a GTM that isn't working) you work directly with Yannick. An operator-turned-GP who has lived the board pressure, the rebuild, and the raise. Not a coach who read about it.
Book a direct callWhy Full Stack CEO™ is different
Other programs optimize for brand names and Demo Days. FSC is built for the chapter after — when the metrics are on the line, the stakes are real, and you need people who will tell you the truth, not manage how you feel about it.

Not coaches. Not consultants. Exited founders, active VCs, and senior operators who've 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.

Active investors from first check to Series B — in the room every week. Not content about what VCs think. The actual VCs, 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 that actually runs your business. Not notes from a course. Tools you open the following Monday.
Exited founders, active VCs, and senior operators.
Not to inspire you. To get in the room and work through it with you. Every week.

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.

“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.”
%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.”
STAGE‑BASED LABS
10-12 weeks. Small cohort. Exited founders and operators every week. You leave with one scorecard, one story, and a Demo Day in front of investors. No frameworks on slides — your actual numbers, worked live.
For idea / prototype to first revenue
10 weeks. Pre-seed founders. Exited founders and product operators every session. Demo Day with seed-stage investors.
Get from idea to paying customer before you run out of time or conviction.
A 10-week live sprint for B2B SaaS and AI founders at idea or prototype stage. The goal is simple: find a real problem, build something people actually pay for, and get there before the runway or the doubt runs out.
After 10 weeks, you should be able to:
An ICP and problem statement that makes real prospects say "that's exactly it."
A v1 product shipped and in customers' hands — built with real tools, not wireframes.
First experiments run — producing real feedback, not just signups.
An early dashboard that tells you whether there's something real here — cash, pipeline, learning velocity.
A pre-seed story grounded in what you've proven — not what you're hoping for.

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.

Stop relying on founder hustle.
Build a motion that works without you in every deal.
A 10-week live sprint for B2B SaaS founders between $1M–$5M ARR. You have traction. But it's fragile — held together by founder energy, not a system. This fixes that.
After 10 weeks, you should be able to:
One or two ICPs you actually own — with a problem statement investors and prospects lean into.
A clear Now → Next story: where revenue comes from today, what you're doubling down on, what you'll prove in 6-12 months.
A Traction Dashboard you can run live — stage, win rate, cycle length, burn, runway, and a CAC proxy you can explain.
A repeatable weekly GTM motion that produces qualified pipeline — not by luck.
Investor-ready GTM and control signals — so you walk into Seed and Series A meetings knowing where you already beat the bar.
This isn't about a better pitch deck. It's about having a real system behind the deck — so every investor update builds on the last one instead of starting over.
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.
The company outgrew the early playbook. Now you need real control — not more hustle.
A 12-week live sprint for B2B SaaS CEOs at $5M–$10M ARR. Growth is happening. But CAC payback is drifting, NRR is inconsistent, and the board story is harder to defend than it was a year ago. The work is to get the metrics back in band — and walk into your next board meeting with a narrative you actually believe.
After 12 weeks, you should be able to:
CAC payback back under control for your segment — not drifting past 18-24 months with no clear plan.
NRR lifted by focusing expansion and retention where it actually moves the number.
Burn multiple moving toward healthy — so each new dollar of ARR costs less, not more.
A Rule of 40 story that's closer to "healthy" — built by actually aligning growth, margins, and spend.
Board confidence rebuilt — one Control Scorecard, a clear GTM plan, a narrative that explains trade-offs before investors ask.
A clear view of which ICPs, motions, and markets deserve more fuel — and which ones to stop funding, even when internal opinions conflict.

Free weekly events
Every week, open to any B2B SaaS or AI founder. An exited founder, active VC, or senior operator — in conversation with Yannick. GTM, metrics, fundraising, AI, leadership. No pitch. No slides. Just the conversation.
Join 200+ B2B SaaS and AI founders in these rooms every week.

Meet THE founder
I'm Yannick Kpodar. 2x VP/CMO turned General Partner at Aventra Capital. Over 15 years I helped B2B SaaS teams raise $396M, hit unicorn valuation, and scale from near zero to $45M+ ARR across the US and Europe. Mostly in the messy middle — the chapter most programs skip over.
I also experienced the cost of it. Board pressure. Financial strain. A full rebuild — professionally and personally. It took longer than it should have because the room I needed didn't exist. There was nowhere to be honest about what was breaking without it becoming a signal to investors, team, or the market.
After the rebuild, it was obvious: the room I needed didn't exist. Not for the founders actually in it — building, performing, silently panicking. Full Stack CEO™ is that room. Built because I needed it, and because you probably do too.
Three ways in.
The room is the same whether you're closing your first customer or preparing your Series B. The depth changes. The honesty required doesn't.
