Why this role exists
Most operators join advisory boards and never hear from the founders again. This room is different — every week, a founder shows up with their actual numbers, their actual problem, and a genuine need for someone who's been there to tell them what they'd do. It's the most useful hour most operators in the room say they have all week.
Full Stack CEO™ is an operator-led program for VC-backed B2B SaaS and AI founders — from pre-seed to Series B. We run weekly live sessions, 10-week sprints, and Demo Days in front of active investors. The operators in the room are the product. We're building the next cohort of Founding Operator Partners — exited founders, active VCs, and senior GTM, product, AI, and leadership operators who show up to one standing session per week and tell founders what they actually think.
One hour a week. Same time. Real founders. Real questions. No slides, no pitch, no performance.
What you'll do
Show up to one standing weekly session — Tuesday (Pre-Seed), Wednesday (Seed), or Thursday (Series A). The session is 60 minutes, live on Zoom, with 8–15 founders at one stage. You answer questions, challenge assumptions, and share what you'd actually do. No prep required. No slides. Just the room.
Occasionally — a sprint office hour when a cohort hits a moment you've already lived, a pitch deck review before Demo Day, or a Slack thread when a founder needs a specific perspective fast. All opt-in.
Total commitment: 1 hour/week, same time every week. Fully remote.
Who this is for
You've done at least one of these at a B2B SaaS or AI company — shipped a product, built a GTM motion, raised a round, hired an exec team, sat in a board meeting, or been through an exit. You don't need to have done all of them. You need to have done yours well enough to have something real to say about it.
You might be:
This is not a fit if your primary goal is to sell services or source deals from the room. Relationships that emerge come from trust built over time — not from pitches in sessions.
What you get
You're joining while the network is still small and deliberately built. The Founding Operator Partners who help build this now will have the relationships, the visibility, and the reputation that comes from being in the room before it was crowded.
How to apply
Apply here on LinkedIn with a short note — two things only:
If it's a fit, you'll be invited to a 30-minute conversation with Yannick Kpodar — GP at Aventra Capital and founder of Full Stack CEO™ — to align on the session, the room, and where your experience lands hardest.
We roll this continuously. If the timing isn't right, apply again for the next cohort.
