Make the 10x jump with people who've done it
The 1 to 10 Club brings founders and investors together, under Chatham House Rule, to share systems worth stealing and the honest stories behind them.
How it works
You tell us what you're stuck on
It's a 2-minute questionnaire, then a quick call with Lucy.
We look for the patterns
So far we've had around 30 conversations with founders and investors.
We build the evening around them
The stories, the table topics and who sits where all come from what you told us.
What you get on the night
A short story from someone who's had your problem, and what they did about it
A table of founders and investors working through it with you
A write-up afterwards, so you can steal what works
It all happens under Chatham House Rule, so people tell the truth.
For investors
Tell us what your portfolio keeps getting stuck on, and we'll build a table around it. Bring a few of your founders along. Nobody pitches.
For founders
Tell us what's in the way and we'll find people who've been there. Some have just come out the other side, and some are in it right now.

Why we built the 1 to 10 Club
We're The Scale Up Collective, the fractional marketing team B2B tech companies bring in when the product's working but growth is still lumpy. We've worked with over 100 tech brands, and our founder Lucy Woolfenden has launched and scaled brands including Skype, Starling Bank and Yolt.
Our clients kept asking where they could hear from founders a step or two ahead, and get honest advice from people with nothing to sell them. We couldn't find a room like that. So we asked around 30 founders and investors what it should look like, and built it.
What are you stuck on?
Tell us in 2 minutes. Lucy will reply personally within 48 hours, and your answer helps shape the next evening.
