He built his first company to $50M and sold it. Most founders would coast on that.
He didn’t. He came into the Founders Board, rebuilt his playbook from scratch, and is now scaling his next venture with half the headcount and margins he never thought possible the first time around.
She came in running a $2M business that was entirely dependent on her. She leaves every board meeting with a clearer plan, a stronger team, and less on her plate.
Three years later, she’s at $12M. Her leadership team runs the business. And she finally has options.
He joined exhausted. Running everything himself, stuck in the details, no clear way out.
Within 12 months, he’d hired a COO, installed a real operating system, and taken his first three-week vacation in years. Not a long weekend. Three weeks.
Alongside them: investors, operators, attorneys who actually know how to structure deals, and seasoned executives who’ve built and exited companies across tech, services, eCommerce, manufacturing, and media.
And behind all of it are the partners who built Scalable: Ryan Deiss, Roland Frasier, and Richard Lindner. Who have collectively founded, scaled, advised, or exited hundreds of companies across nearly every industry imaginable.
You’ve earned your seat at a lot of tables. You’ve outworked, out-thought, and out-executed most people you’ve encountered along the way. And that’s exactly the problem.
When you’re the most experienced person in the room, no one challenges your thinking. No one spots the blind spot you can’t see. No one pulls you forward because they’ve already been where you’re trying to go.
You stall. Not from lack of effort, from lack of altitude.
The founders who compound fastest aren’t the ones who work harder. They’re the ones who change the room they’re in. They find people who’ve already solved what they’re wrestling with.
They get the answer in an afternoon that would have taken two years alone.
And it’s the one thing no course, consultant, or coach can replicate.
Heath had built a real business. Good revenue, solid team, years of hard work. What he couldn’t see, until he was in a room that showed him, was the exit sitting right in front of him. He took it. With the proceeds, he bought his dad the dream car he’d spent a lifetime never being able to afford.
He told us it was the first time all of it felt worth it.
That’s what this room does. Not just to your business. To your life.
“I implemented the Five Figure Free Up power play at the last meeting. We’re freeing up $38,000 a year. Not bad for a few minutes of work.”

That kind of thing, a single idea, a single introduction, a single reframe, doesn’t happen at conferences. It doesn’t happen on Zoom calls with a coach. It happens when the right people are in the same room, talking honestly about what’s actually working.
That’s the standard inside Founders Board. Every meeting. Every quarter.
Ryan built DigitalMarketer from a kitchen table startup into one of the most recognized marketing education companies in the world. He’s founded or co-founded over a dozen companies, generating hundreds of millions in revenue across industries ranging from eCommerce to SaaS to media.
Inside Founders Board, Ryan works directly with members on growth strategy, customer acquisition, and what it actually takes to build a business that doesn’t need you at the center of every decision.
Built DigitalMarketer to 8 figures. Now helping founders do the same, faster.
Roland has been involved in the scaling or sale of over 1,000 businesses across more than 50 industries. As an attorney, investor, and serial entrepreneur, he brings a perspective most advisors simply can’t. He understands growth, valuation, deal structure, and exits better than almost anyone.
Inside Founders Board, Roland helps members think about their businesses as assets, and shows them how to maximize what those assets are worth, on their timeline.
1,000+ M&A transactions. The person you want when a deal is on the table.
Richard has spent his career building and leading high-performance teams inside fast-growth companies. He’s the operator’s operator — the person founders turn to when the org chart isn’t working, the leadership team isn’t scaling, or the systems holding everything together start to crack.
Inside Founders Board, Richard focuses on the internal architecture of a business: people, process, and the operating rhythms that let a company grow without the founder holding it all together.
The person who figures out why your team isn’t scaling, and fixes it.
Before anything else, you’ll sit down privately with our team to map out exactly where you’re going. Your number. Your ideal exit. And the moves, in the right order, that will get you there. This becomes the north star for your entire membership.
Four times a year, members gather for two-day strategy sessions unlike anything you’ve experienced. The conversations in these rooms don’t happen anywhere else. Part planning, part collaboration, all execution. You’ll leave with a clear 90-day game plan, and relationships that don’t stay transactional.
In your first 90 days, we’ll help you install the Scalable Operating System — the same framework running inside hundreds of 7- and 8-figure companies. Your team aligns. Your rhythms lock in. You stop being the only one who knows how everything works. Most members reach full ROI before they attend their first board meeting.
No gatekeepers. When you’re facing a decision that matters — a hire, a deal, a new direction — you have private, direct access to Ryan, Roland, and Richard. One conversation at the right moment can save six figures or unlock seven.
Get direct support from the people running sales, marketing, finance, and operations inside our own companies. They’ve installed these systems in hundreds of businesses. They’ll do the same with yours.
Tactical, timely, and built around what founders are actually dealing with right now. Compensation design, financial visibility, leadership structure, growth frameworks. Attend live, send your team, or watch the recordings.
From the CEO Scorecard to the Quarterly Sprint Planner, you get full access to every proprietary tool we’ve built to help founders step out of the weeds and into the work that actually drives growth.
Daily conversations with serious founders. Weekly drop-in coaching calls for you and your team. This isn’t another group chat — it’s a real operating resource used by people who are in it.
Vendor recommendations, deal reviews, funnel audits, trusted agency referrals — your concierge team handles the coordination so you don’t have to. Used well, this benefit alone can offset your entire annual investment.
