For when the problems get bigger but the deciders don't

At Series B+ the questions get more expensive and the room of people qualified to argue them gets smaller. SynthBoard rebuilds the room — every time.

Start Free See How It Works

What you get

Scaleup-grade scenarios

International expansion, M&A, exec restructures, secondary sales, IPO timing — modeled with The Investor, The Strategist, and The CFO debating each scenario.

Cross-functional complexity

Scaleup decisions hit finance, product, GTM, and ops simultaneously. The Boardroom is structurally built for that, where a single ChatGPT thread isn't.

Filter for executive surroundings

Your team is incentivized to tell you their function's view. The synths aren't — they argue the company's view.

Data-grounded recommendations

The Analyst and Data Scientist quantify what The Strategist proposes. No vibes-based scaleup decisions.

Questions people ask

Real questions. Multiple expert perspectives. Every time.

“Should we acquire our biggest competitor's smallest competitor to consolidate a vertical?”

“EMEA expansion: open London office, hire one EMEA AE remote, or partner with a regional reseller?”

“I have 3 VP candidates with very different backgrounds. The strategic-fit argument vs. the proven-operator argument — how do I weigh?”

“Should we run a secondary at $1.2B post or hold and push for a $2B Series D in 18 months?”

“Two of my SVPs are openly fighting. Restructure, fire one, or bring in a COO over both?”

Your Expert Team

Each expert thinks independently — they won’t just agree with each other.

The CEO

The CEO

Holds the through-line on company strategy and stakeholder trade-offs.

The Investor

The Investor

Thinks like a board, an LP, and a downstream acquirer at once.

The Strategist

The Strategist

Maps competitive dynamics and strategic options across multi-year horizons.

The CFO

The CFO

Pressure-tests unit economics, runway, and capital allocation.

The Analyst

The Analyst

Models the scenarios so the recommendation rests on math, not vibes.

What you’ll get

A synthesized recommendation from your team of experts — not just opinions, but structured analysis.

Key Recommendations

Office-first expansion fails 60% of the time vs. 25% for AE-first
Reseller partnership gives market signal without fixed cost
Gate office decision to a measurable bookings milestone

Synthesized Recommendation

Run a 6-month EMEA test with one remote London-based AE + a regional partner. Open the office only if the AE hits $500K bookings in 6 months. Office overhead before product-market-fit in market is the most common scaleup money-loser.

The Investor
“At scale, the cost of being wrong compounds linearly with revenue. A boardroom is the cheapest hedge a Series B CEO can buy.”
The Investor — Capital perspective

Why SynthBoard for this

Scaleup-tier reasoning

Synths know "first $10M" rules don't apply at $100M ARR. Tier-aware reasoning calibrates to your stage.

M&A and capital-structure literacy

The Investor synth is briefed on secondary mechanics, down-round structures, drag-along clauses, and acquihire economics.

Org-design as a first-class concern

Scaleup CEOs spend 40% of their time on org-design. The Operator and The Empath specifically debate restructures.

Lower stakes for the wrong call

A bad call at $100M ARR is worth $5-30M of enterprise value. SynthBoard's entire annual cost is a rounding error against one prevented misfire.

Common questions

The questions people ask before they sign up.

Is this a real substitute for a $20K/month strategy consultant?

For structured decision-making, often yes. McKinsey gives you a 60-page deck in 6 weeks; SynthBoard gives you a synthesized recommendation in 6 minutes. For implementation, change management, and political cover, hire the consultant. For the actual decision, run SynthBoard first.

How is this different from my existing exec team?

Your exec team is the implementer of the decision and the political actor in it. They cannot be fully neutral. SynthBoard provides the neutral analysis that lets you pressure-test what your exec team is recommending.

Can my CFO and Head of Strategy each run their own sessions?

Yes, and they should. The Team plan supports shared workspaces with role-based visibility. Many scaleups have each functional leader running boardroom sessions to surface trade-offs before exec meetings.

What about M&A confidentiality?

Sessions are private to your account. You can also create a separate workspace for M&A work with restricted access — only the CEO, CFO, and head of corp dev. Nothing leaves the workspace.

Does the Boardroom understand my industry?

For vertical-specific nuance, set up an industry-context profile (SaaS, fintech, devtools, marketplace, etc.). Synth reasoning calibrates to category norms. For deep-vertical decisions, pair The Investor with The Regulator or The Security Chief depending on category.

What's the ROI math for a scaleup?

One prevented bad exec hire at $300K base + 1% equity is worth ~$3-5M in net cost. One pricing decision that holds gross margin is worth 1-3% of ARR. SynthBoard's annual cost is roughly 0.001% of typical scaleup OpEx. The math is asymmetric.
