About Event

​Most founders learn how to run a board meeting by... having to run a board meeting.

​What should you report? Which KPIs actually matter? How much context is too much? What belongs in the deck, what belongs in the discussion, and what should you send in advance?

​And, more importantly, how do you get the people around the table working for you between meetings — opening doors to customers, helping you close candidates, pressure-testing the calls you're about to make — rather than spending two hours presenting information they could have read themselves? Most founders never think to ask. The ones who do get noticeably more out of exactly the same investors.

​For this session, Seapoint CEO Sean Mullaney and Will Prendergast, Partner and Co-Founder at Frontline Ventures and one of Seapoint's investors, will get specific about what good board reporting and board meetings look like from both sides of the table.

​We'll cover:

  • ​What investors actually want to see in a board pack

  • ​Which KPIs to report, and how that changes as the company grows

  • ​How to structure the deck and separate reporting from discussion

  • ​What to send ahead of the meeting, and when

  • ​How to organise the session so you spend time on the decisions that matter

  • ​How to surface problems without creating unnecessary panic

  • ​How to get useful input, introductions and support from your board between meetings — commercial intros, hiring, and the asks most founders don't make

  • ​Tools and systems for making board reporting less painful

  • ​Common mistakes founders make, and what experienced investors notice immediately

​Will has been investing in early-stage companies for more than a decade and has led 25+ investments at Frontline. Sean brings the founder side of the equation, including the reality of building the reporting process while also running the company.

​Expect examples, practical advice and a candid conversation about what happens in the room, not a theoretical lesson in corporate governance.

​There'll be plenty of time for founder questions too.
