ScaleUp Applications are Open
Applications are now open for Microsoft’s ScaleUp program for 2019 in Sydney.
Note: You do not need to be physically based in Sydney.
TL;DR send your pitch deck to scaleupsydney@microsoft.com
Going into 2019, we’ve decided to do things differently by inducting startups to the program on a rolling basis. In keeping with our founder first ethos, we’re choosing to tailor our curriculum to your needs and timelines and keep our applications open all year round. Doing this means you can start any month of the year without missing out on an intake that generally only happens twice a year.
The Microsoft ScaleUp program is designed for startups at Series A and beyond; offering access to sales, marketing and technical support.
Eligible startups take part in an immersive four month program based from our Sydney location. The program provides startups with the support and resources necessary to scale every aspect of your business:
- CEO and CTO coaching
- GTM planning
- Co-sell
- Recruiting and retaining talent
- Developing culture
- Creating distribution channels with global Fortune 500s
- Clarifying the process of working with big corporates
- Accelerating growth in new markets both nationally and on a global scale
In addition, ScaleUp provides an in road to Microsoft’s channel sales and provides connections to our business partners worldwide.
The application process is super simple — just send your pitch deck to scaleupsydney@microsoft.com and someone from our team will be in touch.
Your pitch deck should include (but is not limited to):
