“Last year's Boardwave Live with 450 tech founders, CEOs, investors and advisors was the best gathering of insights and community I'd ever attended, so the bar is set high for this year! But I know Phill, Kath and the Boardwave team will have risen to the challenge. Not just with the agenda and slick organisation, but also with bringing together 450 brilliant people, all keen to learn, connect, share, help each other. United by a common purpose to build a powerful European tech ecosystem.”

“Boardwave brings a rare combination of energy, depth and thoughtful follow-up. Every now and then, you’re part of a discussion that cuts straight through the noise of the urgent and surfaces something quieter and more profound. A recent Boardwave conversation on how to spend time with the right people was exactly that. Boardwave creates a space that is both kind and challenging - and that’s rare. I’m hugely grateful for the community and the calibre of leaders it convenes.”

Real founders, real breakthroughs, real Boardwave.

Thuria Webnar

CEO and co-founder
London, UK
The challenge
Scaling a fast growing company is not for the faint hearted. Thuria needed the right investors, clarity on what great operational leadership looked like, and trusted partners to scale impact across the healthcare and NHS ecosystem.
What happened
Thuria joined the Boardwave community and quickly found value in peers and experienced operators who had faced similar challenges. Through those relationships, she shaped her leadership approach, formed a strategic partnership aligned to her NHS mission, and built a mentorship that later led to her COO appointment. Boardwave provided practical, peer led support when the business needed it most.
The Boardwave impact
  • Faster access to experienced founders, operators and domain experts across all business functions
  • Warmer, higher-quality introductions to investors and senior leaders
  • The ability to learn what excellence looks like before making critical hires
  • Trusted relationships that turned into commercial and strategic outcomes
  • A peer support structure that acknowledged the psychological challenges of leadership

Sam Glasswell

CEO
10-25M ARR
London, UK
The challenge
Navigating a pivotal moment of growth during a Series B fundraise while managing new board members, fresh expectations, and planning the next stage of scale.
What happened
Sam joined the Breakout programme amidst an intense fundraising period and found immediate value in a cohort of peers facing identical pressures. "Everyone was going through variations of the same big challenges: scaling revenue, evolving teams, improving go-to-market". The sessions provided practical, peer-tested advice rather than just theory, and "every topic that came up was relevant to me. There was a 100% hit rate."
The Boardwave impact
  • Closed Series B fundraise shortly after joining the programme.
  • Gained new perspectives on performance culture and team transparency.
  • Moved from seeking perfect playbooks to implementing peer-tested marketing experiments.
  • Built a lasting network of trusted peers for ongoing strategic guidance.

Paweł Malon

CEO
10-25M ARR
Warsaw, Poland
The challenge
Scaling a global SaaS business comes with its classic growing pains. From scaling teams, driving efficiency, and integrating acquisitions. Paweł needed a space to step back and think.
What happened
Paweł joined the programme to find a space where he could "talk openly about everything: the stress and the unknowns". Despite different business models, "the problems were almost identical. That was a real aha moment." When he brought the challenge of acquisitions to the group, he received immediate, practical support: "Straight away, people shared playbooks, introduced me to their integration leads. People who'd been there, done it."
The Boardwave impact
  • Received the playbooks and introductions for handling acquisitions.
  • De-stressed the role by confirming he wasn't facing challenges alone.
  • Adopted new leadership techniques, including those to improve psychological safety such as asking teams: "is there anything stopping you from being present today?".
  • Gained the clarity and confidence to move forward, without burning out. “It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about having the right people in the room to ask better questions.”

Saravana Kumar

CEO
10-25M ARR
London, UK
The challenge
Scaling a bootstrapped SaaS business beyond eight figures and navigating the unknowns of the next growth phase, from restructuring teams to making senior hires, without a prior playbook.
What happened
Saravana found that "being around other CEOs at a similar stage was crucial" to navigating uncharted territory.  "A lot of the time, our problems are identical," which provided a vital support system to fill the gaps in his experience. "It's not like you get an MBA from Harvard and suddenly know the whole playbook", "having a soundboard of people who can give you unsolicited, unbiased opinions is extremely useful."
The Boardwave impact
  • Shaped tangible decisions on key leadership hires and legal strategy.
  • Gained insight into different models and leadership approaches from VC vs. PE vs. Bootstrapped.
  • Now executing the playbook to scale to $30m+ ARR in the next 18–24 months.
  • Leveraged peer-tested solutions to navigate the "unknowns" of scaling.
