FEATURED PROJECTS
For more than 10 years, we've partnered with over 55 companies and regional organizations to create more than $300 million in economic activity. Each project represents real growth, aligned ecosystems, and communities working together to help local businesses scale and strengthen their regions.
In 2018, in affiliation with the Babson Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Platform, we launched an ambitious entrepreneurship ecosytem project in the city of Quetzaltenango (Xela) in western Guatemala. Despite Xela’s reputation as a source of emigration and unemployment, the 18 participating firms in Scale Up Xela’s inaugural have enthusiastically, ambitiously and successfully embraced growth. Within eight weeks of the Scalerator launch, most of the Xela companies were communicating new growth and inspiring a new culture of growth and achievement within the region. Key partners include Fundesa and local universities and has been highlighted in the Harvard Business Review.
