By Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs

In partnership with Scottish National Investment Bank

Developed after extensive analysis of the challenges facing businesses as they scale up, Scale up Scotland 2.0 addresses the lack of strategic support available to high growth businesses and aims to grow the turnover of each business to over £100 million.

Participant companies must be headquartered in Scotland with current revenues typically in excess of £10m, a record of strong year on year growth and the potential and matching ambition to achieve significant revenues within the next 5 years.

The programme is open to the CEO and Executive Leadership teams of up to 12 businesses, is cohort based and places a strong emphasis on peer-to-peer learning. On joining the programme, we will initially provide a deep dive into each business to identify and align the team on the specific challenges and opportunities facing the entrepreneurial leader, the collective executive team, and the individual functional leaders.

CEO’s will participate in quarterly residential retreats at Blair Estate https://blairestate.co.uk over a 12-month period where they will experience a blend of masterclasses, focused dinners and peer to peer collaboration led by Sir Tom Hunter and leading entrepreneurs from the global stage. These retreats will be interspersed with optional afternoon sessions and early evening dinners hosted by participant companies to explore current challenges and opportunities.

Members of the Executive Leadership teams will also participate in residential retreats at Blair Estate.

The programme is heavily subsidised by the Hunter Foundation and Scottish National Investment Bank with participants contributing a fee of £11k plus VAT.
[the fee includes accommodation and meals for the residential events at Blair estate]
