Your real board meets quarterly. The decisions don't wait. SynthBoard gives you a CFO, a Strategist, a Skeptic, and a Customer voice in four minutes — every time you need them.
Every session produces a structured brief: situation, options, recommendation, watch-outs. The exact format you'd use for your own board.
Hire vs. promote, kill a product line, change pricing, accept a customer redline — the calls that fill the gap between board meetings.
Your team filters bad news upward. Your investors are biased toward more revenue. The Skeptic and Devil's Advocate aren't.
The Boardroom remembers prior decisions, your stated strategy, and your operating principles — so it doesn't suggest a 180 it forgot you already considered.
Real questions. Multiple expert perspectives. Every time.
“A key investor wants me to fire my VP Sales. They underperformed Q3 but the team trusts them. What do I do?”
“I have term sheets from two funds: one strategic with portfolio synergies, one financial with better terms. Which?”
“Our biggest customer is asking for a 40% discount to renew. Hold the line, negotiate, or let them churn?”
“Should I bring in a COO now at $250K + 0.75%, or stay flat and grow the operator I have?”
“Board pushing for international expansion at Series B. Numbers don't support it yet. How do I push back?”
Each expert thinks independently — they won’t just agree with each other.
The CEO
Holds the through-line on company strategy and stakeholder trade-offs.
The Strategist
Maps competitive dynamics and strategic options across multi-year horizons.
The CFO
Pressure-tests unit economics, runway, and capital allocation.
The Skeptic
Questions every premise. Finds blind spots others miss.
The Investor
Thinks like a board, an LP, and a downstream acquirer at once.
A synthesized recommendation from your team of experts — not just opinions, but structured analysis.

Synthesized Recommendation
Hold the line at a 15% discount with extended terms, not 40%. Losing this customer at 40% sets a precedent that costs more than the ARR. If they walk, that's a pricing signal worth taking.

Expert Opinions
“The hardest CEO calls aren't the ones with bad options. They're the ones with five good options and a board meeting in two weeks. A boardroom collapses that decision cycle.”
Your investors take 48 hours to reply. SynthBoard takes 4 minutes. For tactical-strategic calls, that's the only thing that matters.
A real board has one CFO, one product person, one sales operator. SynthBoard has all five plus a Skeptic plus a Customer voice, every session.
Some questions (firing a VP, exploring an exit, modeling a down round) can't be raised at the board until you've decided. The Boardroom lets you decide first.
Synths know seed-stage rules of thumb differ from Series B differ from public-company. Set your context once; reasoning calibrates.
The questions people ask before they sign up.
No — your real board provides governance, network, and capital. SynthBoard provides decision velocity between meetings. Most CEOs use it to arrive at board meetings with a synthesized recommendation in hand, which accelerates board approvals significantly.
You decide what context to share with the Boardroom. For maximally sensitive scenarios, run with synthetic numbers (rounded ARR, anonymized customer names). The structural recommendation will still apply.
Yes — the Team plan supports shared workspaces. Many CEOs have their VP Sales, VP Eng, and CFO each run their own sessions, then meet to compare. It accelerates exec-team alignment dramatically.
Set up a company-context profile once (your strategy, ICP, key metrics, stated principles). Every session loads that context, so recommendations are grounded in your specific situation, not generic SaaS advice.
Pricing changes, exec hiring, board-paper preparation, investor disagreements, customer concentration risk, kill-or-keep on product lines, comp band changes, partnership terms. Less useful for purely tactical execution that one functional leader owns.
Peer groups are great for emotional support and pattern matching. SynthBoard is faster, more structured, and won't share your dilemma with eight other founders in your space. Most CEO peer-group members use both.
