Invite: Join Our CEO & Founder Mastermind Next Week

Hi there —

Napoleon Hill once wrote, “Where you find a person of outstanding achievement… you will find their success is a result of a mastermind alliance.”

Each week we host five Zoom masterminds for experienced software CEOs and Founders all running companies with $1M to $100M in annual revenues to get together and help each other solve their challenges, scale their businesses, and prepare for successful exits.

Here are the times we offer each week…

• 11am ET Tuesday - Enterprise SaaS Mastermind (ACV $25k+)

• 11am ET Wednesday - SaaS CEO/Founder Mastermind

• 1pm ET Wednesday - SaaS CEO/Founder Mastermind

• 3pm ET Wednesday - SaaS CEO/Founder Mastermind

• 4am ET Tuesday - Europe/Asia SaaS Mastermind

These masterminds are hosted by Ryan Allis, the founder of SaasRise and the co-founder and former CEO of iContact (exited for $169M). We invite you to join us for one next week, as we offer a free two-week trial of our community for qualified applications.

We now have 392 members in the community so far and in any given mastermind call we usually have between 5-15 attendees. Come when you have challenges you’d like support on — or when you want to accelerate revenue growth and prepare for a successful exit with the help of others in similar situations.

Please apply to join us here and we’ll get you in.

We’re now up to $2.5 billion in ARR among our 392 SaasRise members, an average of $7M in ARR per member. We focus on helping each other grow and prepare for successful exits.

Here’s a breakdown of our members so far by software category…

No matter your vertical, you’ll find a peer network of CEOs/Founders who can help you grow faster and get trusted intros for whatever you need (design help, legal help, M&A help, growth advice, recruiting support, systems building, S&M scaling etc.)

The only requirements are that you’re a CEO/Founder of a software firm with $1M to $100M in annual revenue.

If you'd like to join us for one of next week’s growth masterminds, please apply to join us here for the community before EOD Friday November 22.

Inside the SaasRise community platform, on Slack, on WhatsApp, and on the weekly mastermind calls, we focus on helping each other scale up revenues, build out our sales and marketing engines, systematize our businesses, and prepare for successful $10M-$1B exits.

We also offer our SaaS Growth System Course (26 videos and modules) along with 1350+ slides on scaling, systematizing, and exiting free to all SaasRise members — and offer growth and exit consulting to our members.

You can think of SaasRise as an EO, YPO, Tiger21, Hampton, or Vistage focused just on SaaS growth and exit prep — facilitated by CEO/Founder Ryan Allis.

Members get immediate access to our extensive SaaS growth content library with over 2,000 slides, 200 PDF pages, templates, in-depth webinars, and hours of videos covering the latest in SaaS growth, scaling, and exit prep content.

We also have a private WhatsApp group and Slack Channel to help each other with trusted recommendations and referrals to M&A advisors, executive recruiters, and other partners.

This community is the real deal. Together we will put our minds together to help you grow even faster and build a team that can result in a nine-figure SaaS exit.

If you’re a CEO or founder of SaaS firm with between $1M and $100M in annual revenues, apply to join us here.

Here’s our full member information deck. There’s a 14 day free trial so you can experience the community and masterminds without paying anything then it’s $197/month if you stay on.

This is incredibly inexpensive considering the impact the community has had on our members revenue growth rates and exit multiples. 

All private SaaS CEOs and Founders with $1M-$100M in ARR are invited to apply and join. We are now the #1 Growth & Exit Community for SaaS for CEOs & founders of private SaaS firms with $1m+ in ARR. Come join us.

We're building a keiretsu of SaaS CEOs and founders who support each other in scaling and having successful exits. This group is a super high quality vetted community of SaaS CEOs and Founders. Apply to join us here.

The SaasRise community is focused on helping each other scale up faster, acquire more customers, prepare for successful exits, and get direct rapid peer feedback that would be hard to get elsewhere.

We spend a lot of time going into the details of what’s working for scaling recurring revenue (across digital advertising, sales, marketing, events, partnerships, and then the operational execution side of handling the growth).

Once you’re in — you get access to all of our growth resources, our member directory, and our weekly mastermind calls. And we’ll share our SaaS Growth System with you — our 7 step process for scaling up revenues in any SaaS firm.
