As a former ScaleUp CEO and Growth Stage Operating Partner, I searched for resources that would help me achieve greater leverage of the most scarce resource I had, my time.
Faster, better, more ... did I mention I was a ScaleUp Addict?
I wanted to enable those I worked with to make decisions --quickly and often.
After years of working with hundreds of Growth Stage Boards, CEOs and CSuite Teams, I was a bit frustrated having to 'coach' the same basic topics over and over again. Often in a different sequences, and not everything to each company. I searched for anyting to help my team learn while doing.
What I found was...very little. Frustrating.
The ScaleUp Stage of growth faces a unique set of challenges, during a relatively short period in the life of a company. There is very little informaiton in a format that will help, at the exact time you need it.
There is an abundance of information for the startup phase thanks to all the incubators and even more on the enterprise challenges (lucaritve to those that sell to that space) and very little in between. Why you might ask?
2 Reasons
1. Those that are good at ScaleUp thrive on the outcome, the mentoring and the doing - not the writing about it. Myself included.
Ask me a question and I will teach you the concept quickly so you can make the decision, defend and make another one similar when it comes up. Ask me to create training for the masses and you will recieve an auto generated, nicely worded 'no' .
2. Unknown TAM, combined with unaligned incentives to those that would create and sell into the space. (Scaleup needs speed and in/ out as fast as possible). If this doesn't make sense to you, google why a big TAM matters for your company.
ScaleUp at Scale is my way to "pay it forward".
To be someone's answer late at night, just when they need it.
To help them break the cycle and to 'crack the code' on maxizing value during this unique stage. To help the CEO achieve life changing value for thier family and to help someone else achieve a major milestone of being a first time C-suite (and then hopefully in the future a first time CEO).
Every topic, framework and template that is shared was created by CEO's for the C-Suites playing the Coach role , and has been used many times (and refined over each use), using a crowd sourced approach.
The process only works, due to those being coached willing to be recorded (to help pay it forward too) combined with the effort of the small yet mightly Scalelogix Venture (SV) team in the backround finding ways to make it easier for the ScaleUp Experts to learn while doing and sharing in the win's as every one levels up with each iteration.
The topics you will find are those that are most often needed or requested by the ScaleUp CEO’s , C-Suites and investors all with the same goal in mind to create a more valuable company and future scaleup executive.
The topics cover the investment ecosystem, c-suite planning and development, maximizing your board and expansion / growth to name a few.
The material has been created by and for ScaleUp CEO's to help them achieve greater leverage to become the Ultimate Coach of the ScaleUp C-Suite Team Coach.
The ScaleUp Stage is fast moving and requires you to make difficult decisions on priorities, with speed, all while increasing your communication super power, sharing the what and why as you scale. Its not easy, if it was, they wouldn't need us. Let's do this.
