Teams we’ve been fortunate enough to work with
02.
Work smarter and faster.
Align your team around a metrics-driven process of rapid experimentation, so they can focus on the most impactful work, and push the pace of execution.
Process
"It feels like we're moving in too many directions"
03.
Don’t reinvent the wheel.
We’ll help you find the most impactful work, so your small team can have leverage.
(We’ve seen hundreds of startups, we know what works for your type of business.)
Perspective
"Everything feels like a priority"
The programme helped us create rigour around growth. It would've taken us 3x longer to build our growth engine if it wasn't for SCS."
"Yes, that's right, 22x in 18 months.
What You Get
We’ll work together through 25+ hours of live workshops and 1:1 coaching (not watching videos) for you and up to 6 members of your team. Our goal is to develop and execute your Growth Playbook, including:
01.
North
Star Metric
A team aligned around your North Star metric and a dashboard of 3 – 5 behavioural metrics that drive it. (what will your team stop working on?)
02.
Messaging That's Proven to Convert
To find language/market fit, we’ll uncover your customers subconscious biases and triggers, so we can develop and quickly validate your winning proposition.
03.
Your Best Scaleable Channels
Most great startups grew through only 1 or 2 channels. Instead of trial-and-error, we’ll help you find channel/market fit for your business. Then we’ll help you build the muscle (tools, talent, process) to win in that channel.
04.
A Prioritised Experiment Backlog
90% of your results will come from 10% of your work. Therefore, your team must remain focused on dreaming and testing big-impact ideas.
05.
Team and Leadership Insights
You’ll get specific candid insights & feedback about your approach, business and team. Do you have the talent and skill in the right places? Is your leadership style helping people succeed or getting in the way?
06.
Team & Management
Specific (candid) insights & feedback about your approach, business and team. Do you have the talent and skill in the right places? Do you know what your hiring for?
What People Say.
I’ve never seen so much change at GoSquared in such a short space of time. The team are energised and excited, we’re approaching growth in a whole new way, collaboratively, and we’re now running 10+ experiments a week to help us learn and grow
-James Gill
CEO, GoSquared
Theory means nothing unless it's put in the practice. This course pushes execution and holds you and your team accountable so you understand the reasons and learn at a much faster pace.
-Alex Depledge, MBE
Founder, Resi
Now we have almost a hundred people singing from the same hymn sheet…
Absolutely worth it, it will stay with us forever.

Co-Founder, Ooni Pizza Ovens
How It Works
We combine the best bits of private consulting (1:1 time with experienced operator/coaches) plus the benefits of a 10 Week accelerator (great structured content, outside experts, network of founder peers, accountability framework). We’ll work side-by-side and focus on execution.
We’ll work side-by-side and focus on execution (not watching videos).
A typical week starts with a Zoom workshop (presentation + discussion) where we’ll introduce a concept and give you an exercise to apply it to your business. Later in the week, you’ll have a 1:1 session with your coach, plus optional “deep dives” on various tactical areas, and help designing growth experiments and interpreting the results.
Who Should Apply?
Seed & Series A startups (or bootstrapped equivalents) who have a good product, but struggle to get predictable, scalable profitable growth.
It’s ideal for mobile apps, SAAS, marketplaces & ecommerce. (We’ll have separate tracks for B2B vs B2C). In addition to a good functioning product, you’ll need both founder(s) and employees who can dedicate time to focus on growth.
Is It Worth It?

“I was hesitant at first when I saw the price tag, but 2 weeks into the course I realised actually how cheap it was when you look at the value it added. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to align their team, introduce focus and learn how to really take their start-up/scale-up to the next level. Joining SCS was the best decision I made this year”
Tom Bourne
CEO, Publisher Discovery

Francesco Cardoletti

When we applied to the programme, we trying to do everything, we weren't focused on the biggest impact. They helped us zoom out, think from first-principles, find the biggest opportunities, and validate them with experiments. We've grown 300% off the back of that approach. That's been worth millions in annual revenue to us."

“We worried that being in a cohort with so many other startups would dilute the direct impact of the program. But working 1-on-1 with our coach led to profound breakthrough changes in our business. I can honestly say our coach helped us change the outlook of our business entirely.”
