Motivated to grow your business?  You’re not alone.

Scalerator NEO is looking for highly-motivated and ambitious entrepreneurial leaders that operate companies with roughly $3M to $15M in sales and are motivated to aggressively grow their business.

Applications are being accepted now for Scalerator NEO – the six-month, cohort-based educational program for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to deliver immediate growth to their business and are open to learning new ways to achieve this goal. With a focus on “The 3 C’s of growth” (Customers, Capacity, and Cash), Scalerator NEO touts impressive results, with 75% of participating companies increasing their growth by 25% or more following completion of the program. Scalerator is offered at no cost to selected companies.

The Scalerator consists of a unique blend of proprietary tools, frameworks, team exercises and faculty-led discussions that have helped almost 400 companies enter into new, rapid growth trajectories. Participants from Scalerator NEO say the experience transformed their business, helped them see new growth, and built resilience to face crises. See Testimonials.

Chrissy Myers, CEO of AUI, and Eric Ludwig, CEO of Pulsar Eco Products, participated in the 2022 cohort with their leadership teams and shared the impact Scalerator has had on their business so far:

"AUI’s participation in Scalerator NEO helped us achieve substantial growth this year. Our HR service revenues increased by over 150% and we expanded into Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, New York, and Missouri. This was driven by – and drove – an increase in capacity of four new team members!"

“Since April, even in such a tough labor market as most small businesses are experiencing, Pulsar has successfully recruited and onboarded 10 new hires in Business Development, Product Management, Sales Support, and Global Sourcing. This 50% increase in capacity will directly impact our business – resulting in more infrastructure to support our expanding mass market channel growth of 50% YOY sales. Thanks, Scalerator, the advice we got on building our people platform has been incredibly practical.”

The Scalerator is delivered by a world-class team of practitioner-academics who have grown companies and taught thousands of entrepreneurs, executives and students at Harvard, Columbia, and Babson how to scale up their companies. Burton D. Morgan Foundation and Richard J. Fasenmyer Foundation brought Scalerator to Northeast Ohio in 2017 and based on the success continue to the support of the program. Scalerator NEO is offered at no cost to selected companies, but many more companies will apply than are chosen.
