If you’re a growth-minded CEO in NYC running a $10M–$150M company with a strong executive team and a bold vision, this is a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss.
On Wednesday, August 13, I’m hosting an exclusive, in-person CEO workshop in Manhattan from 8:30 AM to Noon, followed by a private lunch.
You’ll be learning directly from Pete Martin, a six-time entrepreneur who has built and exited four companies—and advising C-suite leaders across 26 industries. But more importantly, you’ll be joining a highly curated group of Vistage NYC CEOs, all running companies between $10 million and $150 million in revenue.
These are CEOs like you:
✔ Hungry for smarter growth
✔ Focused on leadership excellence
✔ Committed to building companies that thrive without giving up control
This room is the room you want to be in.
What Makes Scale Up Faster Different
Inspired by Jim Collins’ Good to Great, Pete spent 2.5 years conducting an unprecedented study of 324 bootstrapped companies—each part of the top 1% of the Inc. 5000.
These businesses grew at a rate of 169% per year, with $24 million in annual revenue and 71 employees—without a single dollar of outside capital. Pete went deep, interviewing dozens of founders to understand what they did differently—and codified the winning patterns in his new book.
Scale Up Faster: The Secrets of the World’s Quickest-Growing Bootstrapped Companies.
This event is your chance to access those secrets—live.
What You’ll Learn in This Workshop
Pete will guide us through the strategies, mindsets, and systems that separate elite bootstrapped companies from the pack:
-
How to attract and retain A-players who act like owners, not renters
-
How to scale with internally generated cash—no equity dilution, no drama
-
How to generate new leads consistently and affordably
-
How to strengthen your market position to escape the price war
-
How to increase operating cash flow by 30–50% annually
-
How to automate intelligently—and avoid the costly mistake 80% of CEOs make
-
How to develop a self-managed team so you can focus on what matters most

Why This Room Matters
This is not a generic seminar.
This is not a pitch disguised as a workshop.
This is a CEO-level learning experience, taught by someone who has done the work, backed by real data, and surrounded by peers who get it.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure of leading in isolation—or wished for a clearer roadmap to scale without the strings—this session will shift how you lead and grow.
You’ll leave with clarity, tools, and powerful connections to other CEOs building great companies in New York City.
To your growth,
