AN OPEN LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER

Dear SaaS CEOs & Founders...If you're here, you probably got a special invitation from one of us or heard about us from a member.

This is something special, something authentic, something different -- a mastermind community just for SaaS CEOs and founders with $1M-$100M in ARR who are focused on rapid growth and scaling.

Just like you, I am a SaaS 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 called Vocus (now called Cision).

I built iContact to $50M+ in ARR, raised over $50M in venture capital across three rounds of funding, and had a successful nine-figure exit.

Since our exit, I've been a SaaS coach and community builder. I've coached the CEOs of Seamless.ai, Tatango, Pipeline, Clearstream, YouCanBookMe, Datalyse, Green Packet, Dow Janes, Retreaver, RXNT, and Revenue Accelerator and helped them scale up from $3M to $160M+ in ARR.

Because of what I went through in the process of building iContact, I knew a community like this was needed -- and that it didn't yet exist.

I wanted to form a group of people who could talk in detail about the unique business model recurring revenue SaaS firms have -- and who are experts in unit-economics and product-led growth.

So I decided to build a community of high-growth SaaS CEOs and Founders with $1M to $100M in ARR who would support each other through the unique process of growing and scaling their company.

This is that community. You found it.

Welcome to SaasRise.

I know it can be hard in the trenches. Really hard. You can't really get unvarnished advice from your team, your board, your investors, or your spouse.

People tend to tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear.

Sometimes you need specific guidance on business issues like sales compensation, ad scaling, team building, unit economics benchmarks, or investor management -- other times you just need someone who's going through something similar to listen to the challenges you're facing.

So who do you turn to?

Who do you turn to when you're making your most important decisions?

That's why I've built this community: To create a community you can turn to when making the key decisions as you scale your firm.

A community dedicated to helping SaaS CEOs with $1M-$100M in ARR scale their companies -- and themselves in the process.

Who's invited here? All SaaS CEOs and founders who are committed to helping other SaaS CEOs & founders scale up (and in turn, benefit from their guidance).

When you join SaasRise, you've have access to the entire community and all of our growth resource. You'll see all the posts, forums, past community calls, Slack group, WhatsApp group, and our member directory.

Plus, you'll be invited to join our optional 60 minute masterminds designed to help you grow your business and get peer guidance on sales, marketing, unit economics, recruiting, retention, capital raising, board management, operations, finance, and exiting. We host five optional mastermind calls per week.

So if you're committed (yes, actually committed) to your company's success and are willing to show up to support your fellow CEOs and founders, join us.

It takes about 90 seconds to apply (we accept all SaaS CEOs/Founders with $1M-$100M in ARR who are serious about contributing to the community).With one small action forward, your path to a $100M+ exit begins.


Let's go.

Carpe Diem,
