07 — SME & startup development

From Startup to Scale

Founding takes nerve. Taking a company further takes a different capability: knowing when to step out of the centre, so the business can grow, run and develop beyond the founder. After twenty years of building and investing in small companies, this is an honest account of where they get stuck as they leave the founding stage and meet the problem of scale.

Built for

Founders, accelerator cohorts, SME associations and the agencies that fund them.
