Pre-Scaler

Pre-scale Programme

Our Pre-Scaler programme supports potential high growth businesses headquartered in Scotland to scale.

The Pre-Scaler programme will see entrepreneurs go through a series of in-person development events aimed at accelerating their growth and ability to then move to scale. This complements our Scale up Scotland core and 2.0 programmes and aims to provide a pipeline of scaling businesses.

The programme is comprised of development events over a 7 month period, focusing on fundraising, people planning, leadership, sales and marketing and effective communication all delivered by our established Scale up programme partners. 

Pre-Scaler is open to any entrepreneur running a business that has real ambition and drive to go to scale. The programme would normally be hosted at The Hunter Foundation’s Ayrshire headquarters at Blair Estate. Applicants should have achieved £100k + in annual revenues.

The programme is fully underwritten by The Hunter Foundation and there is no charge to participating companies.
