GrowthBase - Startup Coaching Program for Rapid Growth

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

The program is right for you if:

• You are a motivated, innovative entrepreneur, start-up, or spin-off company aiming for goal-oriented development and growth.
• You want to gain a solid understanding of startup entrepreneurship, make strategic choices, scale your business for rapid and profitable growth, and prioritize actions on a timeline.
• Your business has internationalization potential.
• Your company is located in the Business Joensuu operational area or is planning to move to the region.
