THE PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Learn how to scale your startup
Taking the step from being a small startup to becoming a fast-growing scale-up is challenging for most companies. Introducing structures that allow growth whilst maintaining the innovative spirit of a startup. Hiring and maintaining talent. Acquiring and managing a growing customer base…
All of this while being on the lookout for new funding sources to cover your growing financial needs. No wonder many startups fail to make this transition. This is where the Up2B program Scale Up comes in! We identified the key challenges for startups at this stage and have invited international experts and successful entrepreneurs to teach you state-of-the-art frameworks and give you best practices on how to scale your company.
Scale Up is a three-and-a-half-day program full of interesting insights, inspiring discussions and workshops. Our goal is to offer you a place that encourages an open exchange with like-minded people, companies and experts. At the end of the program, we want you to walk away with a new perspective on scale-ups in Germany, a stronger network, and a practicable plan that will help your company’s growth in the future.
