What we do

The operating layer for the scaling ecosystem.

An AI-powered platform that connects scaleups, accelerators, investors and partners with the data, expertise and people they need to compound faster, without the noise. Three pillars. One ecosystem.

Who it's for

Pick the door that fits you.

Four audiences. One ecosystem. The platform looks different depending on what you're trying to do.

What's inside

The tools that move the needle.

Built for the work founders actually do. Each one earns its place. No shelf-ware, no theatre.

Benchmarking
Benchmarking

Where you sit against your real peer cohort. Anonymous.

Stage + sector + geography matched. Live cohort medians. Distribution curves. Quarterly delta tracking. Currency-normalised across multi-region cohorts.

The market problem

Every scaleup hits the same walls. Most face them alone.

Founders solve them alone, reinventing playbooks that already exist, asking the wrong people, losing time they can't get back. Boards demand numbers; most scaleups fly on instinct. AI promises everything, but most adoptions never appear on a P&L. We built ScaleUp Global to change all three.

What founders tell us

The same blockers. Different sectors.

Drawn from hundreds of conversations with scaleup leaders across the UK and Europe. Names withheld; the patterns are not.

We've been told we're the company that should be making this decision. Nobody's been able to tell us how anyone else made it.

CF Co-founder & CEO · Series B fintech, London

The board want benchmarks. The team want answers. I have a spreadsheet and a hunch. I need actual data on what good looks like.

CO COO · Series A SaaS, Manchester

Every AI conversation we've had has been about the tool. None of them have been about the number we're trying to move.

CR Chief Revenue Officer · Series C, UK & US

My network looks impressive. Most of it is people I don't talk to. What I need is three people who've solved exactly what I'm staring at this quarter.

Common questions

The bits founders ask first.

Who's it for?

Founders and operating teams of scaling companies, typically post product-market fit through Series C. Plus the accelerators, investors and partners who back them. If you're scaling a business or building the system around scaling businesses, you're the audience.

What does it cost?

Free to join the network as a founder. Cohort licences for accelerators, portfolios and membership networks start at £500. Consultancy is engagement-based. Talk to us about what fits.

How is this different from {your favourite network}?

Most networks give you a directory and a Slack. We give you a connected ecosystem (Platform), live peer data (Benchmarking) and done-for-you services (Consultancy), wired together. Less scrolling, more shipping.

Is my data safe?

Yes. We never share your data with investors or third parties without your explicit opt-in per introduction. Benchmarks are always anonymised against your cohort. Sample sizes under 5 are suppressed by design.

I'm an accelerator. Can we use this for our cohort?

Yes. ScaleUp Global runs the operating layer for UK and international accelerators: applications, judging, cohort spaces, advisor pools, alumni. Get in touch for a walkthrough.
