Haskayne ScaleUp Program

Powered by CDL-Rockies

Haskayne ScaleUp, powered by CDL-Rockies, is a mentorship program for executive leadership teams of commercial-stage companies that need to execute against aggressive growth milestones by scaling vision, leadership capabilities, and processes.

ScaleUp is an opportunity for your executive team to think through and plan for hyper-growth. The program enables executive teams to step away from the day-to-day and work with experienced mentors to execute their scale-up agenda. In this focused environment, your team will refine its capabilities and align processes to accelerate scalable growth.

WHAT WILL SCALEUP HELP YOU ACHIEVE?

Strategic vision and alignment: Alignment on a well-defined, results-driven, strategic vision for growth and expansion.

Scalable processes: Gaining a clear understanding of the company’s and customer’s unit economics and developing repeatable processes aligned with your strategy. These strategies should be operationalized throughout the program.

Infrastructure of culture: Establishing a cohesive language and team composition ready to drive revenue

Community: Joining an enhanced network of Canadian scaling companies, mentors, partners and community members who will support you through the program and beyond.

When we’re looking at hundreds of companies a year for potential investment at Inovia, one of the things I always evaluate is how aligned the team is. It’s surprising how often a team will be completely misaligned on what success is and what they’re trying to get done.”

- Shawn Abbott, Partner at Inovia Capital & ScaleUp Mentor

“When you’re in a room with individuals who have scaled billion-dollar companies, their guidance counts a lot. ScaleUp mentors have the rare experience to speak on what a business can and should look like at different stages of growth. Their guidance was invaluable for our business.”

- Chad Hayden, CEO of Galatea (ScaleUp alumni company) haskayne.ucalgary.ca/cdl-rockies/scaleup
