What is NextUp Scale?

Reviewing almost 3,000 applicants per year, we selectively upcelerate 5 companies per year that we strongly believe in through our best-in-class NextUp approach: bespoke, strategic, and hands-on. This is the radically different way in which our accelerators function. Our industry-leading team collaborates with you to create a tailored growth strategy driven by startup methodologies, operational excellence, and creativity. You’ll work directly with our leadership team, comprised of experienced entrepreneurs and venture capital fund managers, and with a hand-picked mentor who has successfully navigated your specific market.

Together, we’ll focus on the areas that matter most for your success—like go-to-market strategy, fundraising, operations, marketing, and team-building. Additionally, you’ll benefit from the LvlUp Ventures ecosystem, connecting you with potential partners and our portfolio of high-growth companies.

At NextUp, we don't invest in companies with cash upfront, we provide value through our program that surpasses that. We operate on a non-cash equity model, partnering with companies and in exchange receiving 1-10% equity stakes in the companies that join our portfolio and have the option to invest in the best ones following the program. Whether or not we ultimately invest, companies our team has worked with have raised over $250M and have an industry-low failure rate.
