We hope all is well, and that you're enjoying a productive May so far!
We are definitely keeping busy, working with our first cohort of companies to help them scale to new heights, and with the amazing mentors who will also guide them on their journey. In the meantime, we are also starting to prepare for the arrival of our second and final cohort of companies later this year!
Starting a company is (relatively) easy, scaling it is a whole different story.
The EIC Scaling Club team is determined to grow the value and impact of our selected company members, and one way to do that is by surrounding them with top-notch mentors who can provide advice on a wide variety of business challenges.
Please find the list on this dedicated page, separated by supported market group.
We are looking forward to welcoming more esteemed mentors in the next cohort of selected companies!
