The latest cohort includes UK heavyweight startups such as Azoomee, Zego, Attest, Monese, Cornerstone, and Borrow my Doggy - to name just a few and alongside the support offered, this is a great opportunity for great PR and publicity for your business.
The free, and no-equity taken programme, offers scaling startups the chance to gain 28 workshops tackling the biggest scaling challenges, access to leading scale coaches, peer-to-peer learning with other scaling companies, the chance to join a network of over 100 companies in the Upscale alumni.
