Company mission

swiftscale's mission is to minimise barriers between exceptional scaleups, corporate customers, and growth investors, and ultimately to become the partner of choice for the world's foremost innovators.

Our take

swiftscale acts something like a matchmaker for scaleup founders, large corporates and growth investors. The company helps vetted scaleups access the right funding opportunities, customer connections, as well as helping their corporate and investor network scout out new investment and partnership opportunities.

swiftcale also supports scaleups to quickly and efficiently identify and engage their ideal investors. This useful service could help reduce the high startup failure rate that many associate with a lack of network access and funding support for scaling businesses. Nearly half of UK scaleups believe there’s insufficient capital to meet their growth needs, so swiftscale’s support might provide a galvanising force for the UK scene.

swiftscale’s focus on enterprise-ready scaleups creates a valuable business proposition for private corporations, who are increasingly turning to newly developed tech to enhance their operations, discover new business opportunities and create competitive advantage.
