Let’s Fix Startup Board Meetings: 5 Sections To Flow

Few things can shatter a founder’s confidence quicker than a poorly managed board meeting.

At best…

… you’ll get glossed over stares and “checked out” investors who secretly hate you for wasting their time.

At worst…

… you’ll accidentally knock over the first domino in getting kicked out of your own company.

Pay special attention to Step #4 in this week’s video to make sure that never happens.

After dozens of successful board meetings for my own software companies, as well as helping hundreds of SaaS Academy clients run their own…

At a high level, here’s the flow you should be using to run effective and highly productive board meetings:

1. Big Picture
2. Calibrate
3. Company Building
4. Working Sessions
5. Close the Session

If you implement this flow while asserting yourself as a LEADER, I can guarantee you that you’ll never have another sweaty palmed or unproductive board meeting again.

Better yet, you’ll be able to put your investors to work instead of feeling like you’re constantly trying to impress them.

At the end of the day, your investors will thank you for it — and be excited to help you keep growing.
