What is Scalerator NEO?
Scalerator NEO is a six-month program designed to help Northeast Ohio business leaders achieve rapid, sustainable growth. Built on a curriculum developed by Babson College, the nation’s top-ranked school for entrepreneurship, Scalerator NEO empowers businesses with the tools and strategies to scale effectively.
Tailored for High-Growth Businesses
The program targets companies with $3 million to $15 million in annual revenue that are ready to grow through repeatable strategies, rather than acquisitions or one-off wins. CEOs and their leadership teams participate together in hands-on workshops focusing on key areas such as sales, finance, talent, and more.
A Team-Based Approach
Scalerator NEO's unique team-based model includes:
- Peer-to-peer learning
- Practical assignments
- Individual mentoring from experienced faculty
This approach fosters collaboration and drives impactful, long-term improvements and growth.
