Board Exchange

Visit, observe and learn from other SaaS boards

What is a Board Exchange?

Working with your Board and making your Board work: Two of the tougher jobs for any leadership team.

Boards play a crucial role in the growth of a SaaS business, but there’s precious little opportunity to see how they work outside your own organisation.

  • How do other boards organise themselves?

  • What do they discuss? How do they make decisions?

  • How do my board meetings stack up against others?

If you’ve wondered these, you’re not alone.

So we’re going to make it easier for KiwiSaaS members to visit, observe, and learn from other SaaS Boards.

How it will work:

  • Let us know what you want to learn, and any ideas you have about who or what you want to see

  • We’ll try and find another SaaS company Board that would be happy to have you visit and observe.

  • Potentially they might like to reciprocate, and visit your Board.

  • We’ll provide some simple confidentiality paperwork, should either of you want it.

  • In any case, we’ll find a potential match, connect you with each other, and leave it to you to get it sorted.

  • It will be reasonable to expect that as an observer, you may be welcome to observe some parts of the meeting, but step out for other parts – but that will be up to you and your host.

This is a free service for KiwiSaaS members.

  • We’ll consider your request, ask any clarifications we need, and then see if we can find a Board with interest in making a match. Once we have a potential match, we’ll come back and see if that suits you.
