New Mastermind Group For VC Backed CEOs

We are launching an exclusive weekly mastermind group for venture-backed tech CEOs with $5M+ in funding to tackle the unique challenges of scaling VC-backed businesses together.

I'm starting a new mastermind group just for venture-backed tech CEOs who have raised $5M or more in venture capital.

  • The goal is to build a group of vetted VC-backed CEO peers who help each other with the unique aspects of building a venture-backed business (scaling, investor relations, next round prep, founder liquidity, exit prep, emotional health, etc.).
  • I raised $45M for iContact back in the day and I always wanted to have a group like this just for venture-backed CEOs to help each other (it can be lonely at the top).
  • The call will be each Wednesday at 1pm ET starting July 23.
  • You can join every week or just whenever you have an issue/situation to bring to the group for feedback.
  • We also have a special WhatsApp group and Slack group for these members so we can help each other.


How to Join Us...

If you qualify and would like to join us -- just send me a reply email and I'll add you to the cal invite or DM me on WhatsApp at +1-737-742-1349.

There are 67 CEOs in our community so far running venture backed firms with $5M+ in capital raised, so we should be able to pull a great mastermind group together.

All the best,

Ryan Allis
CEO of SaasRise
