SuperScalers

What SuperScalers does

SuperScalers is a UK-based, not-for-profit curated community for female founders scaling businesses from £1m to £50m+ in annual revenue. The organisation was co-founded by Sam Smith (former CEO of finnCap), Rosaleen Blair CBE (founder of AMS), and Oli Barrett MBE, combining capital-markets, scaling-operations, and entrepreneurship-ecosystem experience. Its purpose is to address the underrepresentation of female founders in the scaling stage by providing peer support, mentorship, and access to capital networks.

The core offering comprises a tiered programme stack: a baseline community membership; CEO Intensives delivered with Geeta Sidhu-Robb (£1,500 per single intensive or £5,500 for a series of 5–8 founders per cohort); and the Inner Circle, a 10-month peer advisory cohort priced at £1,095+VAT, delivered in partnership with Thrive Partners. Forthcoming products include the Angel Club, which will give members access to investment opportunities and angel syndicates. The company layers partnerships — including an Exclusive Wealth Partnership with Rathbones, a funding-readiness collaboration with VenturePath, and advisory support via The Vision — to create an integrated service stack around members. Community delivery runs on the third-party Kajabi platform; no proprietary technology stack is disclosed.

The business model is a mix of individual membership fees and small-cohort programme fees paid directly by founders. There is no disclosed sponsorship, enterprise, or grant revenue, and the organisation operates as a not-for-profit with a small core team (the three co-founders plus a COO). Pricing is positioned at the affordable end for founders at the £1m+ revenue stage, with the Angel Club signalling a future move into higher-value capital-allocation services.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Founders Factory: Global accelerator and venture builder; relevant because COO Ellie Slaght spent nearly nine years there, indicating overlap in founder-development DNA. Broader (corporate-backed accelerators across sectors) rather than a curated female-founder membership.

Direct peers

• AllBright: UK-based curated membership network for ambitious women, including female founders. Closest direct analog to SuperScalers' tiered-membership, curated female-founder community model, although AllBright's footprint has historically been broader (executives, creatives) rather than founder-scaling-specific.
• Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO): Global peer-to-peer community for founders of businesses that have surpassed a meaningful revenue threshold, structured around peer learning groups, forums and accelerators. Highly comparable curated-scaling-founder community model, though co-ed rather than female-only.
• Founders Forum: UK-based curated peer network of tech founders, operators and investors. Comparable curated-founder model with stage-appropriate membership, intimate events and partner ecosystem — direct UK peer for SuperScalers.
• YPO (Young Presidents' Organization): Invitation-only global community for CEOs and presidents of companies meeting revenue/employee thresholds, organized around peer forums, learning and events. Directly analogous peer-network + programmes + events structure serving scaling CEOs.

Others

• WEConnect International: Global membership network certifying and connecting women-owned businesses to corporate and government buyers. Adjacent — supports scaling women-owned businesses via network and procurement access rather than peer coaching/angels.
• Cherie Blair Foundation for Women: International non-profit focused on supporting women entrepreneurs in emerging markets via training, mentoring and networks. Mission-aligned (female-founder support) but not a commercial community or fund; useful as a comparator for non-profit scale of similar mission.

Emerging players

• Female Founders Fund: US-based venture fund investing exclusively in female-founded companies, with a strong community and content layer. Overlaps with SuperScalers' female-founder ecosystem and capital-access mission via the Angel Club.
• SoGal Ventures / SoGal Foundation: Global venture firm and founder community for diverse (predominantly women and LGBTQ) founders. Comparable dual thesis of capital + community for diverse founders, with a global footprint that could compete with SuperScalers' expansion plans.
• Backstage Capital: VC fund and accelerator dedicated to underrepresented founders (women, Black, Latino/a, LGBTQ). Adjacent mission and overlapping female-founder target segment; primarily capital-led rather than community-led.
