Our mission is to guide the best talent into the start-up sector

We have spent most of our careers in venture capital, working closely with the management teams of over 20 start-ups and scale-ups, both as operators and investors. Through this firsthand experience, we observed that even the most promising talent often faced significant barriers when entering the start-up world. While there’s an abundance of content and resources for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to launch their own ventures, there was a noticeable gap in support for those aiming to secure high-growth roles within existing start-ups. And with that, ScaleAcademy was born, to bridge this gap and guide the best talent into the start-up sector. 

 

​We know that it can be daunting joining a start-up fresh out of university or jumping off the well-trodden corporate career path, and we want to help you make the move. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge, mindset and experience that will help you land a job in a start-up and thrive in a high-growth environment. To do that, we have partnered with experts in the industry, to create a Micro-MBA specifically designed for the start-up sector. ScaleAcademy is designed for anyone wanting to learn more about start-ups, land a role in a start-up or accelerate in their current role.
