Scale-up

A scale-up is a company that has moved beyond the initial stage of creating and validating its business model and is experiencing a phase of accelerated growth. Unlike a startup, which usually focuses on developing and testing a product or service in the market, a scale-up already has a validated business model and aims to expand its reach, increase revenue, and scale its operations sustainably.

For a company to be considered a scale-up, it must have demonstrated growth potential, have a structure prepared to take on new challenges, and have a strategy focused on expansion. This growth can occur through entering new markets, expanding teams, attracting investment, incorporating new technologies, or improving internal processes.
