Description

The conversations for founders, VCs, and operators who want a 360° view of what it means to build and lead a company in the age of AI.

Most podcasts give you one lane (fundraising, GTM, or leadership). The Full Stack CEO Podcast gives you the whole system.

Hosted by Yannick Kpodar — 2x VP/CMO turned General Partner at Aventra Capital, with 15 years inside VC-backed SaaS across LinkedIn, PayFit, Amenitiz, and Groupe BPCE. This show is built for founders, investors, and operators who refuse to be blind in any lane.

Every episode tackles the real conversations that don't happen in board decks: the GTM bets that worked and the ones that didn't, the fundraising rounds that nearly killed the company, the pivots, the shutdowns, the exits, the IPOs, and everything in between.

We cover it all:

  • Go-to-market, ICP design, and sales motion
  • CAC payback, NRR, burn multiple, and runway
  • Fundraising from pre-seed to Series B and beyond
  • Hiring, international expansion, and organizational design
  • Pivots, shutdowns, IPOs, secondary exits, and acquisitions

We interview the people who've actually lived it: exited founders with real scar tissue, active VCs writing checks today, and tier-1 operators who've scaled teams from single-digit ARR to category leadership. No hype. No vanity metrics. No celebrity-CEOs.

Why this show, and why now? AI has collapsed product and GTM cycles. Boards are underwriting control, not just charisma. The founders who win in this environment are the ones who can read the whole field (product, GTM, capital, and leadership) as one integrated system.

That's what it means to be a Full Stack CEO. And this podcast is your weekly dispatch from the operators and investors building those companies.
