Scale-Up Success Factors

Only a handful of start-ups make it to the scale-up phase.

What what are criteria for success?

  • Clear vision and strategy

  • Set priorities and make choices

  • Delight their customers

  • Invest in brand and marketing

  • Continue to innovate and disrupt

Become a successful scale-up

As your startup comes out of it infancy phase and starts to expand its customer base and attract additional capital, it is an exciting time.

But making the right choices about how to serve your new customers and deploy those investments is critical for your future success.

Reimagine The Future

Congratulations! You are on a roll. Now it’s time to renew your goals and objectives and make sure your adjust your ambitions towards what’s become possible. This also means extending your activities across markets, customer groups, or product segments.

Stay Focused and Real

Too many startups fail in the scaling phase as they either grow too slowly, leaving room for competitors to take up share, or scale beyond their means. Having a strong strategic direction backed up by a solid plan will keep you focused and grounded.

1. Set Strategic Priorities

During rapid growth, opportunities are everywhere and everything can seem important. But it’s not, and you cannot be everything to everyone. You will need to make choices. Make sure they are the right ones.

2. Plan, Do, Review

As you scale, it helps to have planned where you want to grow towards and how you will get there. Of course, your plan might change as you go along. Regular check-ins and adjustments help will keep you on track while not losing out on new opportunities.

3. Build Capabilities & Teams

The bigger your startup becomes, the more complex it will be. You will need teams and managers, systems and processes, tools and structures. That’s why we will partner to figure out what’s needed to achieve your ambitions.

What is a scale up?

A scaleup is a successful startup company that plans to grow further. The OECD defines a scaleup as a company having an average annualized return of at least 20% in the past 3 years with at least 10 employees in the beginning of the period. To reach the next level of hyper-growth, you have to pair funding with an adapted strategy. An aspiring scaleup has a proven concept and is now looking to achieve global leadership in the market. You need experience, knowledge, and leadership to grow from a startup to a scaleup. Most startups never reach the scaleup phase because of a lack of these resources.

Are you ready to leave the startup phase behind you? Do you want to grow your business? Is now the time to establish new structures and responsibilities? Scaling up your company can offer more opportunities, possibilities, and freedom. As a result, you can spend more time on what sets your business apart from others and do what you excel at.

Scale up aspects

When growing from a startup to a scaleup, there is a lot to think about and take into account. Your company has to meet some criteria before you are even ready to scale. We realize that not everyone knows when they are ready to scale up.

We have listed the essential scaleup aspects to keep in mind while making the jump. Some look at the performance in numbers, others look at the overall experience of your company. Before you can scale up, look at these aspects and assess your company with them.

Are you not sure if you are ready to scale your business? No problem, take the questionnaire and see where you stand right now. If you know this already and want to learn more about the scale up roadmap, read our article about 10 steps to become a scaleup.
