Do you recognize that your company has scalable growth potential? Do you feel like there are always many things happening at once, making it difficult to figure out where to focus? Are you looking for support to help your business take off?

Through the GrowthBase StartUp Coaching Program, you'll improve your ability to run your business effectively. The goal of the program is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to implement scalable business operations while helping you prioritize what to focus on and in what order.

A clear picture of a scalable business is developed by exploring key areas of business operations and applying the knowledge and skills directly to your company’s day-to-day activities. Throughout the GrowthBase coaching process, you'll develop and refine a prioritized action plan to be finalized by the end of the program. You'll receive support through:

  • Peer support from fellow StartUp entrepreneurs,
  • Expertise from experienced mentors,
  • Pilot opportunities with leading companies, and
  • Coaching from Business Joensuu's coaches and experts.

The GrowthBase StartUp coaching is structured to help you identify the key aspects relevant to your business and determine the order in which they should be implemented.
