“We got a lot out of being part of the Scale Yorkshire programme last year. At the time we had been trading for 4 months and had picked up our first few clients, but through Scale we were able to learn - from workshops and speaking with fellow entrepreneurs - on how to effectively grow a tech business and sell into enterprise. I’d highly recommend it to any scale-ups looking to take their business to the next level.”

Don’t just take our word for it, see how

“To say the programme exceeded our expectations is an understatement. It opened our eyes to what we needed to think about when scaling and how to challenge ourselves. We are currently fundraising and we are in a much better place from taking in part in Scale. I’d recommend it to all companies who are ready to scale up.”

"The programme definitely does as promised - it was a wonderful way to get exposure to key people within the industry. I'd recommend this to any scale-up looking for commercial opportunities with PwC and their clients, as well as the programme being well organised and run by a great team!"

“The programme has given us access to an amazing range of skills and talent inside of PwC and has enabled us to generate a significant pipeline of corporate clients that have expanded and accelerated our growth plans.”
