Insight Partners and the ScaleUp Revolution
Insight Partners and The ScaleUp Revolution ScaleUp companies are the future. Where startups are an engine for innovation (but fail at alarming rates), ScaleUps are an engine of economic growth (demonstrating resilience in downturns, adding jobs in both good and bad times). Whereas starting up is fraught with product and market risk, scaling up is fraught with execution risk. To quantify the unique challenges of ScaleUps and understand their economic impact, Insight Partners commissioned a report from Wakefield Research. The report found that 85% of scaling focused companies expect growth rates to increase in the next 3 years and some 42% of executives say that scaling their business is more difficult than the startup phase. Leaders noted that attracting investors is their biggest obstacle (50%), and they want an investment partner that provides strategic resources across functional business areas (64%). Insight Partners’, the largest software focused growth investor, thesis is clear: Insight Partners invests in ScaleUps because they are a more predictable force-multiplier of economic growth. Even so, their unique expansion challenges require support to mitigate execution risk – this is something at which Insight Onsite, a 75+ team of specialist operators, excels.
