Catalyst’s Way to Scale (W2S) has already supported the transformation of 20 Northern Ireland, innovation driven companies through substantial revenue and staff growth. The fundamental barriers for high growth potential, export-oriented companies to scale originate in understanding your core, creating a winning market frame and developing a team that can deliver your ambition. Utilising Catalyst’s experienced network and proven training professionals from MIT and Northern Ireland, the W2S Academy is designed to support another group of ambitious, innovation driven entrepreneurs to crack £10 million of revenue.
You’re a CEO, leading an innovation driven, high growth potential company already generating sales revenue, prior to April 1st 2021 (revenues of £500k or equivalent per year) and would like to challenge your “scaling strategy” to deliver on your ambition, on time and within budget. You are up for some transformational, challenging, thought provoking and practical training from some of the world’s most successful, global business professionals.
Four 90-minute, morning training and workshop sessions over one week (via Zoom) that will begin to transform your business (approximately six hours of formal interaction). Thanks to the support of our partners, Belfast City Council and Catalyst, the total Bootcamp programme will cost £95 per company (CEO and two senior team members). Subsequently, you will be eligible for the full Way to Scale Programme that comprises three 1-week, intensive and practical training and workshop modules that will transform your business. The Way to Scale Programme runs January to March 2022 between MIT (in Cambridge MA), Belfast and Boston.
The Bootcamp will take place across three days on the 23rd, 24th and 27th September via Zoom.
Applications are now closed for the Way to Scale Bootcamp
