Start to Scale

“John Morrison and Joe Fitzgibbon are absolute superheroes within the Scottish ecosystem. They’re always there to help my company and other startups. From free mentoring in the early days, quality advice, even the occasional office space to use in Edinburgh and London, they are genuinely there to help out while still being cost-effective.”

What is Start to Scale?

We created Start to Scale to help start-ups and scale-ups to access support – for free.

We’ve been working with ambitious start-ups and scale-ups for decades, and are active supporters of early-stage companies and the investors who back them. We know what it takes for these businesses to succeed – the right idea at the right time, the right financing, the right connections and avoiding any pitfalls along the way. Start to Scale helps with this, and is entirely free. It has several elements.


Start to Scale resources include:

The Start to Scale Hub

Our Start to Scale Hub enables you to create template legal agreements in just a few minutes. So if you need a founders’ agreement or an NDA, you can self-serve there. (Of course, we’ll be pleased to offer further in-person help if you need it.)

Events

Investment Video Insights

Our Video Insights share useful analysis of the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association’s model documents for early-stage investments. When you raise venture capital, you’ll need an understanding of how these work and what the common negotiating/discussion points are (and are not).
