The session

This is not a launch party.

It is a working session for the CEOs we believe could form the founding group of Ascent.

We want you to meet the people we are bringing together, experience the proposition properly, challenge our thinking and decide whether Ascent is a community you want to help build.

01

Meet 30+ exceptional CEOs

Proper introductions to a carefully selected group of leaders facing many of the same growth decisions, pressures and opportunities.

02

Hear directly from Tenzing

One of Tenzing’s founders will share their perspective on what it takes to be a brilliant CEO, drawn from years alongside high-growth technology businesses.

03

See Ascent in action

We’ll demonstrate the platform, including the benchmarking and insight designed to show where a business stands and where attention can have the greatest impact.

04

Shape the founding membership

We’ll explain what we are building, what remains open to influence and how we will select the CEOs who become Ascent’s Founding Members.

Most CEOs know their own numbers. What they rarely have is a clear, objective view of how they really compare.

Why Ascent exists

Better information. Better perspective. Better people around you.

Ascent is being built exclusively for CEOs and founders of mid-sized B2B technology companies.

Members confidentially contribute a defined set of performance metrics. That data is anonymised and benchmarked against comparable companies, creating an objective view of what is working, what is not and where attention is most valuable. Around that insight, Ascent brings private-equity-level pattern recognition, proven growth expertise, one-to-one support, curated events and a trusted peer community — without giving up equity or control.

Analysis

Benchmarks, insight and data research. Know where you stand.

Authority

Proven playbooks, expert operators and focused support to act on what the data shows.

Association

A high-trust peer group of CEOs who can share experience, perspective and support.

Tenzing perspective

What does it take to be a brilliant CEO?

Tenzing has spent more than a decade working with high-growth B2B technology businesses and has backed 80+ investments.

On the evening, one of Tenzing’s founders will share the patterns they have seen in the strongest CEOs: how they think, where they focus, how they build teams, how they make decisions and what separates sustained performance from short-term momentum.

Private equity capability. Entrepreneurial experience.

Ascent combines Tenzing’s institutional growth capability and pattern recognition with the lived experience of building and leading businesses. The aim is practical: give CEOs the information, capability and support to grow with greater confidence.

Founding membership

This is where it starts.

We have a strong view of what Ascent can become. We do not want to build it in isolation.

A limited number of CEOs will be invited to become Founding Members. They will be the first users of the platform, the first contributors to the benchmark data and the group that helps set the standard for the community that follows.

  • Influence the metrics and benchmarks that matter most
  • Help shape the expertise, content and events
  • Join the first confidential benchmark cohort
  • Build relationships inside a high-trust CEO peer group
  • Help define the culture and quality of the Ascent community

Attendance at the session is by invitation. Participation in the event does not automatically confer membership; the purpose is for both sides to determine fit.

Tuesday 22 September · 4.00pm

Be there at the beginning.

If the idea of better data, better perspective and a genuinely valuable group of peers around you resonates, we would like you in the room.
