The pressure that comes with every stage of growth, the questions you can't always ask out loud, and the endless small decisions that leave no room for the big ones. Boardwave Breakouts is where you take the load off. You join eight to ten CEOs and founders at a similar stage to you, guided by a Moderator who has run a company like yours, and meet in person for half a day four times a year to work through whatever you're carrying. Autumn groups are forming now across UK and Europe, and it's free for Boardwave members (it's free register as a member).

There's no curriculum in a Boardwave Breakout. Each session is shaped by what the group is facing that quarter, whether that's product-market fit, scaling sales, board dynamics, a hiring call or something more personal. “I've been able to openly share and receive feedback and recommendations that have directly influenced my decision-making,” says Anssi Rusi, CEO of Supermetrics.

Nobody tells you what changes when there's someone on the board who didn't build the company with you, and it isn't something you can raise with your exec team. It's exactly the kind of problem a Boardwave Breakout is for. Eight to ten CEOs and founders at your revenue stage, no competitors in the room, and an experienced operator or coach in the chair, meeting every quarter to work on what's actually on your desk. Autumn groups are forming now across UK and Europe, and it's free for Boardwave members (it's free register as a member).

You can't say it at your own company, and you probably haven't said it to anyone. Boardwave Breakouts exist for that conversation. A small group of founders and CEOs who are living the same realities as you, guided by an expert Moderator, meeting in person four times a year in a room where nothing leaves and nobody is selling anything. Over time it becomes the group you turn to when you need them. Autumn groups are forming now across UK and Europe, and it's free for Boardwave members (it's free register as a member).

When the pace of change is this fast, the thing that goes first is time to think, and it's the thing you can least afford to lose. Boardwave Breakouts give it back. Four half-day sessions a year with eight to ten tech CEOs and founders at the same ARR band as you, led by a Moderator who knows how to get a room past small talk and into the real problem. It's free for Boardwave members and places are limited so every group stays small.

Three years ago we stood up in a room in London and said Europe could be the world's leading software economy by 2033. It was a bold claim at the time but it's getting truer by the year. Europe's AI funding rose 58% in 2025 alone. On 17 September, 400+ founders, CEOs and chairs are coming to the IET to work out what happens next. Balderton's Bernard Liautaud, Danyal Akarca, co-founder of Callosum, fresh off a $100m fundraise, and Jan Goetz, who is building quantum computers in Finland and has ‘no plans to move to California’ - all sharing their perspectives on the European opportunity. I'm super excited that we're also bringing back the incredible Katie King, PhD, co-founder of BioOrbit, Thuria Wenbar, co-founder of Evaro and Dr. Ben Maruthappu, founder of Cera to hear how their incredible growth stories have evolved over the last three years. If you run a software or AI business in Europe, there's a seat for you to join us on the 17th, and it's free, just like our Boardwave membership, even if you’re not already a member. Vive L'Europe.
