PwC and BizzInn are launching SCALE: Midlands, a 12 week programme for start-ups that are ready to scale.
SCALE: Midlands will bridge the gap between the corporate and start-up ecosystem, offering an unparalleled mix of executive education, lead generation and sales opportunities, expert masterclasses, and connection to large corporates that are often out of reach for start-up companies.
The programme includes:
• Weekly masterclasses from PwC experts covering topics such as alliance partnerships, R&D tax credits, access to finance and tax-efficient investment schemes, management incentives, deals and IPO readiness
• A private event to connect with senior executives from corporates that are seeking collaboration with agile, scaling companies
• Coaching to help you deliver the perfect investor pitch
• An investment parlour, where companies are matched to VCs and investors who are actively looking for sector-specific investment opportunities
• A pitching event that where companies can showcase to 150 investors, mentors, sponsors, and senior PwC partners.
SCALE: Midlands is open to companies that are:
• Selling innovative products and services that have the potential to significantly disrupt how business customers operate
• Generating revenue or have previously raised seed capital
• Passionate about scaling their business.
Applications are now open for the programme, which starts in October. Interested parties should go to www.pwc.co.uk/scaleprogrammes
