Venture Scaling Masterclass

You already have paying customers, a small team and the sneaking suspicion that what got you here will not get you to the next stage. The Venture Scaling Masterclass by Garerano is built for founders sitting between two hundred thousand and two million euros of annual revenue who need to install real operating systems before growth turns into chaos. We work through hiring, pricing, sales process, cash discipline and founder energy across ten intensive weeks, and we do it with operators who have scaled companies past your current ceiling.

Overview

The messy middle between a good business and a real company

Growth does not reward effort the way the early days did. Doubling revenue at ten thousand euros a month is a hustle problem. Doubling it at three hundred thousand is a systems problem, and most founders keep attacking it with hustle until the team burns out and the margins collapse. This programme drags every process out of your head and into documentation your team can follow, then rebuilds your commercial engine around the customer segments that actually make you money. You will spend ten weeks pulling apart your own company with a mentor who has been through the same mess and a small group of founders at your stage who will tell you the truth.

  • Diagnostic audit of your current funnel, margin and team structure
  • Sales scripts, CRM stages and handover rules your hire can inherit
  • Cash forecasting built on your own invoice history, not puffery
  • Quarterly planning rhythm you can keep running after we leave

Operator-led

Every session is run by someone who has personally hired the wrong salesperson, mispriced a flagship offer and rebuilt a team from scratch. We share what actually worked, not what looks good in a case study.

Numbers first

We open your books in week two and keep them open. Every strategic decision after that gets measured against margin, cashflow and churn, because scaling on thin margins is how good companies quietly die.

Experience

We have sat in your chair and made the mistakes already

The mentors leading this masterclass have taken companies through the exact stage you are stuck in — past a million in revenue, through first management layers and into profitable exit conversations. They know the pain of a broken commission structure and the strange loneliness of a founder whose team has outgrown the original plan. That experience is what you are paying for, not slides.

  • Every mentor has run a company past €2M in annual revenue
  • Six of our mentors have completed an acquisition as seller or buyer
  • Average mentor has managed teams of thirty or more people

Scaling is rarely a marketing problem. It is almost always a founder who has become the bottleneck and has not admitted it yet. The work starts with that conversation.
Pricing

Choose the level of handholding you need

Every package includes the ten-week curriculum, the diagnostic audit and your peer group. Higher tiers add time with mentors inside your own company, which is where the biggest changes get made.

Operator

€2,400 one-time

For founders who want the framework, the audit and a group of peers at their level.

  • Ten-week advanced curriculum on scaling systems
  • Complete diagnostic audit of your current operations
  • Access to the operator peer group for twelve months
  • Template library covering hiring, pricing and cashflow

Executive Intensive

€9,900 one-time

For growth-stage companies where the cost of getting the next two quarters wrong is far higher than this fee.

  • Everything in Embedded
  • Fortnightly one-to-one mentor sessions
  • Onsite workshop day with your full leadership team
  • Direct introductions to investor and M&A contacts
Our Process

Ten weeks, five moves, one operating rhythm

We do not run a lecture series. Each phase leaves a working system inside your company, reviewed by your mentor and stress-tested by the group before you move on.

01

Open the books

Week one and two: we pull apart your revenue mix, margins, churn and cost base. Founders regularly discover that the offer they love is quietly losing money while a side product carries the whole business.

02

Find the leak

Weeks three and four: we map every stage of your funnel, measure true cost of acquisition by channel and identify where deals stall. This is where most founders learn they have been blaming the wrong problem for months.

03

Rebuild the sales engine

Weeks five and six: your pricing, packaging and sales process get rewritten with scorecards, stage definitions and commission rules your team can actually follow without you hovering over every proposal.

04

Hire the right next three people

Weeks seven and eight: we define the roles you actually need, write the offer, design the interview loop and build a ninety-day onboarding plan so new hires are productive before your energy runs out.

05

Install the operating rhythm

Weeks nine and ten: your weekly, monthly and quarterly management cadence gets written down, tested in a live session and handed to your leadership team, so the business keeps running when you take a holiday.

FAQ

What scaling founders want to know

We keep the answers honest. If you do not see your question, write to us and we will reply in plain language.

Most participants arrive between two hundred thousand and two million euros of annual revenue with a small team already in place. We can work with founders slightly below or above that band, but if you are still pre-revenue the Startup Launch Accelerator is the better starting point.

Embedded and Executive Intensive tiers include sessions with your management team, either remotely or on site. Operator tier is founder-only, though you can bring one senior colleague to the quarterly review for an added fee.

Expect six to eight hours, split between one live session, your own company work and a fortnightly small-group call. Most founders report the diagnostic audit alone saves them more time than the programme costs.

Executive Intensive members receive introductions to our investor and M&A network. We are also blunt about when raising is the wrong answer, because plenty of healthy companies would grow faster on retained earnings and a tighter cost base.

We do not build strategy documents that sit in a drawer. Every phase produces an operating system inside your company — scripts, scorecards, dashboards and hiring plans — that your team runs without us. We measure our success by whether those systems are still being used six months later.

We cannot promise a specific revenue number, and anyone who does is selling you a story. What we guarantee is a full refund if you complete the first three weeks and reasonably conclude the programme is not delivering value for your business.
