THE SCALE-UP INITIATIVE Sherry Coutu CBE#scaleup


Definition

A ‘scale-up’ is an enterprise with average annual growth in employees or turnover greater than 20 per cent per annum over a three year period, and with more than 10 employees at the beginning of the period

THE SCALE-UP REPORT ON UK ECONOMIC GROWTH Sherry Coutu CBE#scaleup


Start-ups are not SCALE-UPS

Any size*

Any age

Any sector

Any region



We are doing very well on Start-ups...


But we are doing less well at growing them (!)

The Scale-Up Institute #scaleup Sherry Coutu CBE


STARTUPS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO NATIONAL OUTPUT

Research by the academic David Storey has found that the median annual sales of a six-year-old firm in the UK are less than £23,000

This research also found that only a small group of start-ups achievesignificant growth in revenues – just one per cent have sales of more than £1 million six years after they start

1 %It also found that the average new firm, despite the hype that surrounds startups, made a negligible contribution to British productivity growth.

“First mover advantage doesn’t go to the first company that launches, it goes to the first company that scales.”

Reid Hoffman, co-founder of Linkedin



These recommendations focus on steps that can enable and leverage local networks and provide them with actionable insights to mobilize collective action; the mindset is one of using existing resources more effectively, not just providing more support.

Michael Porter, Harvard Business School



World leading universities such as Cambridge play a crucial role in creating business through the generation of innovation, entrepreneurship, and funding opportunities, but it is the talent and expertise of our students and academics that will help these businesses grow.”

Leszek Borysiewicz, Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University



“This report makes a compelling case for getting behind the UK’s high growth ‘scale-ups’ and I hope all political parties seriously consider its recommendations.

These firms are already having a transformational impact, we just need more of them to grow.

Helping them access the talent they need, develop their leadership and access new markets are the priorities.”

John Cridland,Director-GeneralCBI


“A welcome contribution in the context of Greater Manchester’s recent devolution deal with Government and will support us as we look to deliver targeted business support to our local high growth firms.”

Mike Blackburn Chair of Greater Manchester LEP


“Competitive advantage doesn’t go to the nations

that focus on creating companies, it goes to

nations that focus on scaling companies.”



“Economic growth doesn’t happen in clusters that

focus on creating companies, it goes to those that

focus on scaling companies.”



The Report identified 6 main gaps as to why companies cannot scale in the UK …


1. The Evidence Gap: public and private sector organisations identify, target and evaluate their support to scale-up companies.

2. The Skills Gap: improve the ecosystem so scale-ups can find employees with the skills they need

3. The Leadership Capacity gap: building their leadership capability

4. The Export Gap: accessing customers in other markets / home market

5. The Finance Gap: accessing the right combination of finance

6. The Infrastructure Gap: navigating infrastructure

F4S tracks the number of student-employer interactions per LEP

Note that Cambridgeshire has 354 Business leaders with revenues of more than £1 Million

These folks can help out in schools…


In this case, you can see that the teacher has chosen to view the businesses by growth rate

Of the 354 businesses in Cambridgeshire, there are 287 businesses growing by 5% or more

There are 39 growing by 150% or more. The user has chosen to view only those businesses growing at > 150%


Women-led

F4S allows the viewer to view women-led businesses in any locale.

In this case, you can see that the viewer has chosen to view the women-led businesses growing by 20% or more

(there are 42)


This website allows the viewer to find women-led businesses in any locale.

In this case, you can see that the viewer has chosen to view the women-led businesses growing by 20% or more (there are 42)

By clicking on any of the icons, this will take the user to information about the company


This website allows the viewer to find businesses in any locale.


If you click on any of these icons, it reveals the linkedin profile and accounts of the Business Leader of that company so that the reader can

a) Write about them if they are a journalist

b) Ask them for coffee if they are a Mayor

c) Ask them to visit the classroom if they are a teacher

d) Consider inviting them to tender for a project if you are a large corporate

e) Invite them on a trade mission if you work for UKTI

f) Think about investing in them if you are an investor


This website allows the viewer to find women-led businesses in any locale.


Clicking on the red icon, will take the user to information about the company

Clicking on the blue icon, will take the user to the school that invited the business leader into their classroom


If you clicked the

blue ‘hat’, you go to the event page which shows that the teacher asked these leaders to visit during a day they spoke about college applications to 90 Year 11 Students at this school.

The teacher had chosen three leaders to illustrate careers in this instance.


We know that there are women-led businesses in Cambridgeshire

13 women-led businesses with > £ 1 Million in revenue are growing their revenues by 150% or more (33% of the business population)

58 women-led businesses with more than £ 1 Million in turnover that are growing by 5% or more (20% of the business population)

I wonder why the teacher didn’t choose any women?


National Benchmarking: Cambridge Leads!

Together we can eradicate the Skills Gap

Corporate:• Dramatically drive down the cost of delivering the teacher workshops (to zero) and

• Provide rewards to teachers for referring their fellow teachers to the training workshops • Provide rewards to teachers for booking multiple events using the platform. • Refer women from an engineering background to f4s as volunteers: We often run low on

‘female inventory’, particularly in STEM subjects in Cambridge.

• Offer work experience (contact Tricia Kelleher or Simon Armitage)

• Sponsor workshops at Schools for year 9 and 10 teachers on how to use of the F4S service.

If you are a School Governor:• Help us sign up schools to the Assessment Research Exercise• Recommend a Teacher If you are a Parent:• Recommend a Teacher
