The VC-Backed Community
For Venture Backed CEOs and Founders With $1M+ Raised
Just a few of our 350+ SaasRise members...
Welcome to VentureRise, the #1 Growth community for venture-backed CEOs and founders.
If you're here, you probably got a special invitation from one of us or heard about us from a member.
Just like you, I am a venture-backed CEO and founder.
I founded and built iContact as CEO and sold it for $169 million after ten years of work to a publicly traded company.
I raised over $50M in venture capital across three rounds of funding, built iContact to $50M+ in ARR, and had a successful nine-figure exit.
Since our exit, I've been a CEO coach and growth advisor. I've coached the CEOs of Instantly, Seamless.ai, Tatango, Clearstream, YouCanBookMe, Green Packet, Retreaver, RXNT, RNL, and many more, helping them scale up from $3M to $160M+ in ARR.
Because of what I went through building iContact, I knew a community like this was needed -- and that it didn't yet exist. So we decided to create it.
