Young Enterprise Scale-Up (YES) Bootcamp
2-day intensive scale-up workshop for co-founders
WE NEED MORE SCALE-UPS.
Only about 0.5% of startups scale: those that do that are very different from the start. 86% of startups die by their fifth year. Meanwhile, Scale-ups contribute meaningful social and economic value in the markets they operate in. They create jobs and improve household incomes.
In our bold pursuit to help create more scale-ups in Africa, we have designed the Young Enterprise Scale Up (YES) program in partnership with THNK School of Creative Leadership and Scale Up Nation Netherlands. Since June 2016, we have been piloting our services to a handful of ventures to validate what works and what does not work in our local environment.
The YES Program is a five-year venture support and growth acceleration program to enable participating ventures scale up. It starts with a two-day intensive bootcamp in which thirty (30) ventures will design their companies for scale using practical tools and concepts.
We invite all ambitious SMEs and ventures to apply for the bootcamp, download our free e-book on scaling your business and receive other perks from our partners.
YES BOOTCAMP EXPERIENCE:
The YES Bootcamp is curated with a world-class curriculum and learning experience to uplift the perspective of the participants about the possibilities of scaling their businesses. It is focused on blended learning provided by experienced leaders. It consists of concepts, practical workshops, assessments, guest symposiums, etc. Our approach is for all participants to learn by doing.
Core Curriculum : Designing for Scale We will teach and use the THNK Venture Design elements to identify scale-up areas each participating company will focus on. By discussing and working on these interrelated elements such as the What, How, Who and Why, participants are able to demystify what it takes for them to scale. Clarity of purpose and strategy is accomplished.
Industry Technology Showcase:We are working with various partners who play significant roles in various industries. The Industry Technology sessions brings these experts to discuss the dynamics of their industry and how best bootcamp participants can navigate and win in these industries. Solution Demo Desks will also be available for participants to try out cool tools and solutions from our partners.
Guest Symposium: Let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth! We will have a fire-side chat with an entrepreneur who successfully scaled his business from scratch. Participants will be free to ask any questions that is on their mind. Especially about the struggles they face day-to-day and how they should overcome them.
Corporate Cocktail:On the eve of the second day of the bootcamp, we will have an informal cocktail that brings together 150 people (participants, partners, supporters, mentors, leaders, etc.) to network and experience a wonderful evening. We have some side attractions, so stay tuned!
“Going through the YES program is very eye-opening. It helped us gain new perspectives on applicable steps we can take to maximise our revenue and better position the company to achieve market scale. Truly mind-blowing!”
