The situation

AlbionVC wanted to understand how organisation and culture support or hold back sustained growth across its Series A+ portfolio.

What we did

We ran our diagnostic across nine companies growing at 17–300% CAGR, using all-employee surveys, cross-company focus groups and CEO interviews, followed by detailed reports, leadership briefings and analysis comparing the companies.

What changed

The commercially outperforming businesses shared a distinctive culture profile, and we found a link between organisational fitness and commercial performance. We now work with AlbionVC as part of its portfolio growth programme.

“Scalewell has provided us with valuable advice through Fitness to Scale. Their specific expertise in culture and leadership is deepening our own understanding of performance optimisation in early-stage, growth companies and we continue to benefit from their insight.”
