Growth and capital programme for fashion and lifestyle companies
Is your brand ready for the next phase of scaling? Do you need to strengthen your growth strategy with a clearer focus to seize international opportunities? Apply now to take part in a unique scaling programme for brands with ambitions for significant further growth.
What do you get?
The programme is designed for companies that have established their position in the market, built a strong foundation and now face the challenge of scaling up their organisation and sales while gaining access to suitable capital in a structured way.
Over three months, we combine three intensive, focused full-day sessions with individual mentoring. You will meet international experts who will help you identify specific improvements to build a more resilient and scalable business.
During the programme, we work with you to assess your company’s current position, identify the key drivers of growth and establish a clear, milestone-based plan for further development. You will gain insight into how to sharpen your brand, strengthen your organisation, improve operational execution and stay in control as complexity increases. The aim is to prepare your company for its next phase of growth and help you secure capital for further scaling where relevant. The programme will give you a clearer, more structured understanding of the investor landscape, capital strategy, ownership structure and what investors look for when assessing scaleups.
Who should apply?
The programme is designed for six established Norwegian fashion and lifestyle brands that generate revenue, have employees and are ready to scale up. If you have ambitious growth plans and want guidance from experienced mentors and industry experts, we encourage you to apply to take part in the programme.
Participation is application-based to ensure the programme is relevant and effective. The content and mentors will be tailored to the participants’ needs.
