Scalerator NEO is looking for ambitious entrepreneurial leaders operating companies with roughly $3M to $15M in sales, and 10 or more employees that are motivated to aggressively grow their business. Scalerator is a seven-month, cohort-based program that brings CEOs/owners and leadership teams together for an intensive growth experience focused on the 3 Cs: Customers, Capacity and Cash. Through faculty-led sessions, peer learning and practical application, companies systematically identify and overcome the barriers that can limit growth. Scalerator NEO is provided at no cost to all participating companies through funding from Burton D. Morgan Foundation and the Fasenmyer Fund.
For 10 years, Scalerator NEO has helped second-stage entrepreneurs step back from the day-to-day, focus on what matters most, and build practical plans for growth.
Across 10 cohorts, more than 100 companies have taken part in the program, strengthening teams, creating jobs, serving customers, and contributing to Northeast Ohio’s economy.
