Scale up phase

A new phase starts! Now the focus is on getting your startup structured towards scaling.  Said in another way, your startup is ready to be profesionalized. You will get intensive training in Futurebox through workshops and 1:1 sessions in order to get all your processes and structures in place and to hopefully be ready for your next big investment.

You have your processes in place, and customers are buying. Now, you need to scale! What does that mean? It’s all about selling more to existing customers, getting into new markets and finding customers that look like the ones you have already. Sell, sell, sell!

The Scale-up phase is divided into three sprints, and every sprint suits your startup’s needs. Every sprint includes 3-5 disciplines and spans over three months. You must pass every discipline in the sprint in order to move forward in the program. Every six weeks, there will be a workshop for all the startups in the Scaleup Phase.

How we work with acceleration

We work with acceleration in three ways:

Workshops with specialists on topics relevant for your journey – to inspire you and give you the necessary tools to succeed. 

1:1 sessions with specialists and experienced mentors matched exactly to your start up where you convert what you learned into action. 

Review sessions where we focus on the results that you make – or what you need in order to achieve results. 

We follow your climate tech startup from the startup phase through the, often over-looked, gear up phase and into the scale up phase.
