The Forge 50:
An exclusive, collaborative cohort of active PE-backed and mid-market CEOs. Share boardroom insights, solve operational bottlenecks, and deploy the FORGE Operating System alongside your peers.
The challenges of a private equity-backed CEO are highly specific. You cannot share your strategic doubts or boardroom pressures with your executive team, and you cannot discuss them with your competitors.
This is not a standard business class or a networking group. It is a working group where a select cohort of mid-market and PE-backed CEOs meet to stress-test their strategies and share raw, unvarnished operational feedback.
In this cohort, you will work directly with Bill Canady and your peer CEOs to:
Lock in your operational contract with the board, in writing.
Isolate the 20% of products, customers, and processes driving 80% of your EBITDA.
Pressure test your, 5-lever bridge to guarantee exit value.
Bring your active boardroom and sponsor challenges to a confidential roundtable of equals.
No VPs, no directors, no advisors. Every member of the cohort is a sitting CEO.
Structured sessions focused on deploying the FORGE Operating System and solving active operational bottlenecks.
Every member operates under a mutual NDA.
