Way to Scale

Supporting ambitious, innovation driven CEOs to scale their business and reach £10 million+ revenue

Way to Scale was the best business experience I have ever been through and has left an indelible mark on me as a businessperson. Everything changed, for the better. My Way to Scale cohort still stay connected today; almost 130 people from across the world, all entrepreneurs, have stayed together, and meet as often as we can to share experiences and knowledge.

Why Way to Scale?

Northern Ireland is leading the way when it comes to nurturing innovation start-up companies to £1M in revenue. However, the real economic impact occurs when companies scale to £10Million and beyond. The Way to Scale programme helps to close this gap by giving a select group of CEOs the chance to participate in an intensive entrepreneur development programme that spans Northern Ireland and the USA.

In our Way to Scale programme, you will:

Develop the confidence, skills and behaviours that will support your ambition  
Implement a step-by-step framework to de-risk your business while maximising success  
Learn how to build a defendable core and really establish your business  
Take a deep dive into the detail that will support driving a robust business plan  
Fine tune your sales and marketing strategy and tactical engagement

Who should apply?

Applications are open to highly ambitious, innovation driven CEOs with the vision to scale to £10M+ revenue, and plan to significantly grow business internationally.
Your company has revenue of £500,000+, or the capital in place to grow. The programme is subsidised by our sponsors Belfast City Council and Invest NI.*
