RevvUp

RevvUp is the acceleration stage. A startup that has taken angel money and is starting to sell gets paired with a PadUp expert mentor in its own domain, and works with them on demand — in person and remote — rather than to a fixed timetable. Milestones are set and reviewed monthly, and monthly masterclasses run alongside. The goal PadUp sets is moving from first customers in a niche to larger clients in bigger markets, which is the evidence an institutional investor wants. When the agreed metrics land, PadUp and the mentor help with the raise.

What you get

• Unlimited on-demand mentoring from a domain expert mentor, in person and remote
• Monthly masterclasses on commercialisation
• Milestones set with your mentor and reviewed every month
