Kommol/Notion CRO Dinner
Kommol and Notion are hosting a night where fellow CROs from across the Notion portfolio and wider SaaS ecosystem are getting together for dinner in London on the evening on Tuesday 20th March.
As part of a series of dinners we have co-hosted over the last 7 years you will be part of a limited invitation group of 12 individuals that all share significant experience in building market disrupting, global VC backed B2B SaaS companies. We always have 2-3 attendees with experience of scaling through significant global scale and revenues in the tens of millions ARR and beyond, as well as those driving earlier companies to this stage currently – all in market-disrupting and sometimes market-creating new tech.
Hosted by Notion and Kommol, the evening will be an opportunity meet like-minded leaders, share experiences and discuss common challenges with your peers.
Some suggested talking points for the evening include:
- From good to great: what differentiates the top CROs in the ecosystem? What are the expectations of a highly successful CRO and what does the career path of a top performing CRO look like?
- Hiring: how can I hire effectively through rapid scale? What technologies, platforms and communities are CROs using to hire, onboard and retain go-to-market leaders and teams effectively?
- How can the relationship between sales and product and sales and marketing be improved? What processes can I put in place and what does effective leadership from the top look like? How much and should the CRO have influence over this?
- Compensation plans: how do you design compensation plans that drive the right behaviours and keep teams and individuals aligned with organisational objectives?
We’d also love to know what’s top of mind for you right now and are inviting each participant to submit one question for the group for discussion over dinner.
Summer Party
Friends of Kommol Dinner = “$100million in 11 months”
We are hosting a dinner with special guest Tim Perks (Tim Perks | LinkedIn). As CFO of www.newvoicemedia.com, Tim raised more than $100million from US investors Bessemer (www.bvp.com) and TCV (www.tcv.com) over a 11 month period ending last year. Clearly this was a massive team effort but it was an incredible result and his experience of going through the process we find is seriously valuable to our network.
Kommol Dinner – “Secrets of Transitioning to the Growth Round”
Michelle and I are hosting an intimate Kommol Dinner on the evening of the 3rd of November in the West of London which will be the 5th of our series. Venue details to follow.
This evening’s topic sticks to the themes of our “Secrets of Transitioning to the Growth Round” series and this time we have amazing special guests who are delivering amazing results in +’ve DRR (see below – http://www.forentrepreneurs.com/saas-metrics-2-definitions), which is my most favoured metric to unlock the big outcomes in Funding:
· Andrew Porter – the CTO of Brightpearl who is bringing investment banking strategies like FlowMonster to the world of Retail which has flipped Brightpearl from an Application to a Platform, more than halved churn to best in class and driven up upsell. As you drive up the availability of a platform and drive down the cost of delivering a transaction customers become increasingly more successful on the platform the benefits flow through the unit economics at scale. Andrew Porter | LinkedIn
· Alistair Wildman – the CRO of OnApp and previously the SVP of Customers for Life at Salesforce.com. Alistair is famous to delivering his ‘deal with the leaky bucket’ strategies which makes every customer drive up the value of the business in perpetuity. Alistair Wildman | LinkedIn
We will touch on themes like Highly Available Platforms, SaaS Metrics, the rise of Customer Success and many more topics which drive successful businesses.
Our last one (Raise $100m in 11 months for Founders and CFOs) was 3x over-subscribed, so we delivered a much bigger event for > 75 SaaS Founders and Execs soon after. So get in whilst seats last!
Please confirm ASAP as there are limited slots (6 gone already) and let us know your level of interest in the topics for future reference.
Thanks for your continued support in the EMEA SaaS space.
Kommol Private Dinner – “Grow Up, Scale Up”
I would like to invite you to a private dinner we are holding on Tuesday 23rd February – the sixth in a series of Kommol events (with Notion Capital) helping early-stage VC-backed B2B SaaS companies tackle the most common challenges of scaling from one round to the next.
Along with my host Michelle Williamson, the Co-Founder of www.kommol.com we have two great special guests on the subject Keith Wallington and Richard Nockolds:
- Keith – joined Mimecast.com in 2007 when they were at £5m of revenues and was one of the main enablers of scale as the COO to 2014. The business and founders had one of the few European SaaS IPO’s in history having listed on Nasdaq last year. In the last few years Keith has worked with dozens of Start Ups on how to grow up, scale up and exploit the limited time and resources they have to put to work on their market opportunity – Keith Wallington | LinkedIn.
- Richard – is my ‘go to’ person for GTM transformation. He worked with us at MessageLabs on this, and has since worked with several of our portfolio companies at Notion. He has consulted in the B2B channels space since the late 1980s, working with small, growth firms and a number of Fortune 500 giants. He helps his clients select and connect their routes to market with the buying behaviour of their customers. Much of this involves educating founders and CEOs and transforming their thinking and teams – Richard Nockolds | LinkedIn.
“Grow Up, Scale Up” will focus on critical decisions relating to people, process and technology for sales, marketing and customer success. You will get the opportunity to debate why, when and who to hire and how best to deploy your time and money to address the most concentrated sources of value.
The format will be 12 individuals – Founders / CEOs / COOs – of Seed to Series B stage VC backed B2B SaaS companies, together with senior members of Notion Capital, in a casual private dining environment; Chatham house rules and each guest has the opportunity to ask the table one key question they would like opinions on / help with.
The aim is to be highly informative and helpful but also fun. The invitees and evening will be loosely arranged around a key theme / common topic of interest. Kommol will curate it, but only lightly as the value is really for leaders of fast growth companies to be able to learn from each other.
Please let us if you are able to attend and we will be happy to discuss it in more detail with you, or simply register here: https://growupscaleup.eventbrite.co.uk – we are always oversubscribed so please get registered whilst slots last!
We look forward to seeing you on the night.

Kommol Summer Party – “Raising $100m in 11 months – what B Round Crunch?”
Following on from the incredible www.kommol.com dinner last month, which was over-subscribed by 250%, Michelle and I are hosting a Summer Party event on the 7th of July. Whilst everyone has been calling out the “B Round Crunch” in the last 2 years there is a counter view that what’s happening is a wall of capital is just waiting to bet on the best opportunities. It’s this scarcity value for top scaling start ups which is driving the US money and the $100million which www.newvoicemedia.com unlocked over 11 months. What characterises the best opportunities? That’s what we will be debating. We have assembled some special guests:
· Tim Perks (Tim Perks | LinkedIn). As CFO of www.newvoicemedia.com, Tim raised more than $100million from US investors Bessemer (www.bvp.com) and TCV (www.tcv.com) over a 11 month period ending last year. Clearly this was a massive team effort but it was an incredible result and his experience of going through the process, we find, is seriously valuable to our network.
· Julia Bobrovich (Director, SVB ). Having spent nearly a decade at Silicon Valley Bank, Julia has assessed and provided a range of debt financing solutions to numerous startups and growth stage companies in Silicon Valley and the UK. She has worked with a wide variety of innovative businesses as they scaled from Series A to IPO and has some interesting perspectives to share.
· Justin Fitzpatrick (Justin Fitzpatrick | LinkedIn) the Co-Founder and COO of www.duedil.com will be on the panel. Duedil achieved really early success in raising US VC funding from www.oakhcft.com in the A and the B and so his insights are a great counter weight to some conventional wisdom. Including my own!
. Our Compare and host for the evening is the amazing Michelle Williamson ( Michelle Williamson | LinkedIn ) who is the Managing Director and Co-Founder of www.kommol.com – few people are more connected and dedicated so purely to early stage B2B SaaS in EMEA whether that investors, founders or Execs fit to scale opportunities Round to Round.
We have additional contributors on the night from our eco-system where you can get advice and a second opinion on fund raising (www.notioncapital.com) we ordinarily have half a dozen top Angels and VCs at each of our events, Legal (www.friedfrank.com / www.osborneclarke.com / www.ashfords.co.uk ), Brand, Messaging and Positioning ( www.eccomplished.com ), Data Science and Data Strategy (www.duedil.com), PR and Comms ( www.itsaugur.com ) and many other top players on the night. Just ask what you need and we will seek to make a connection.
The networking and free opinion plan is – YOU ASK and we HOOK YOU UP on the night like “OFFICE HOURS” or if preferred “SPEED DATING”. Need advice = ASK, Want to meet someone = ASK.
So – if you want to share in an exchange of insights with the bests CEOs, Founders and B2B SaaS Execs moving towards B Round and Growth Round Funding and kick the tyres with Tim, Julia, Justin, Michelle and myself on US Investors– it’s first come first served. Register ASAP by reply as tickets go fast.
