We offer mentorship for the whole journey

We match every founder with a mentor who can offer honest advice, strategic guidance, and long-term support. We often place a Non-Executive Director on your board to help you make smarter decisions and grow with confidence.

We offer mentorship for the whole journey

We back only eight founders each year

We’re not trying to build a portfolio of dozens. We want committed relationships with a handful of founders we like. That means each investment isn’t just capital, it comes with our time, attention, and long-term support.

We invest from our own balance sheet

Our investment model is unique. As a listed company, we’re able to use our capital to back early-stage businesses we genuinely believe in. Rather than a traditional Venture Capital model which are optimised for multi-year carries.

"Scalare has provided virtual CFO services since April 2022 and we couldn't be happier. Beyond the technical expertise, we've really valued the strategic support and practical insights that comes from working with rock-star pros that know the unique challenges and role of the finance function in a scaling tech business."

"From restructuring our pipeline stages and forecasting revenue based on first-sales-interactions (FSIs), to being hands-on and in the weeds on particular deals (getting stuck deals, 'un-stuck'), Scalare's commercial support has been invaluable as we transition from startup to scale-up."
