Growth Check

WHAT_ The Growth Camp becomes the Growth Check: The Growth Check is aimed at start-ups in the growth phase with the goal of analysing the most promising teams individually with regard to the criteria of strategy, team and market, providing implications for market expansion, production scaling and team development and matching the start-ups with experts and mentors.

WHO_ Who can apply?

• Startups from the European region (Tyrol, South Tyrol, Trentino, Veneto)

• Increasing revenues, expansion phase, high growth and scaling potential (e.g. annual revenue increase of 25%, exponential team growth, etc.)

• existing team > 7 employees (including founding team

We recommend that the founding team/top management participate in the programme, as it involves fundamental strategic and company-wide assessments and decisions. The programme is open to industry

WHY_ In the ongoing collaboration with startups and in the exchange with international programme providers and players from the ecosystem, it is evident that startups in the beginning growth phase need support in specific business areas. Based on these findings, the 3-month Growth Camp format was developed in cooperation with Werkstätte Wattens, I.E.C.T. - Hermann Hauser and the Standortagentur Tirol and has now been transformed into the Growth Check as part of the Startup Tirol Roadmap, the support programme for startups in Tyrol.

HOW_  At the beginning, there is a quantitative questionnaire for the startups to survey the status quo in the following dimensions: Team, Market, Strategy. Based on this, the startups receive targeted input and feedback on these topics. At the subsequent joint event "Founders meets Experts" with experts, the results are discussed and reflected upon together.

WHO_ The STARTUP GROWTH CHECK is an event of the Standortagentur Tirol and is made possible by the INTERREG project Startup.Accelerate STARAC ITAT 1092. The program will be held for the first time in this form in September / October 2022 in support with the workshop Wattens, the I.E.C.T.-Hermann Hauser and New Venture Scouting.
