Growing to scale is the most important challenge facing an emerging growth company. Doing so can lead it to self-sustainability, while demonstrating its potential for generating real wealth to investors needed to help it grow further. Yet too often, the race for scale overlooks critically important steps that lead to a weak foundation, and a setup for failure.

This panel will discuss the “how” behind growing to scale: best practices including how to find and retain the right talent, mistakes to be avoided, and next steps – including how to avoid “death valley,” that lonely and often deadly period between friends, family and angel investors, and a company’s first round of venture or institutional financing.
