Whether you’re struggling to break into a new market, seeing little to none demonstrable ROI of your sales and marketing efforts, or looking to bolster your business with sustainable and long-term opportunities for growth, we tackle your growth challenges head-on.
Ready to scale
Let’s chart your course to 2-3X ARR in 24-36 months.
Services
For scale-ups working to raise back from a plateau, we build the full growth picture rather than a single fix: where revenue can realistically come from, which partnerships open it, and what has to be true operationally for the plan to hold.
We strengthen the business before we strengthen the pitch: the investment case, the numbers behind it, and the narrative carrying both. Then we connect you with the right capital across our UK and Silicon Valley VC network, as a warm, prepared introduction rather than a cold submission.
We identify and refine your product-market fit strategy so the product resonates with the audience it is for: testing positioning, pricing, and proposition against real market feedback until the evidence, not the enthusiasm, says it fits.
Entering a new market means arriving with the right networks, stakeholders, and strategy already mapped, whether opening the market for tier-A clients across the USA and the UK, or bringing an international company into London. A named sclr team member can represent your firm in the market.
How an engagement works
No two ventures arrive with the same objectives, timelines, or constraints, so no two engagements run the same way. Every project begins with a review of your current business plan to establish what can genuinely be achieved in a defined window. Solutions are then designed around time limits and KPIs agreed with you, delivered anywhere on the spectrum from consultancy-led advisory to fully bespoke, hands-on execution.
Objectives are set against an agreed window and measured against KPIs both sides have signed up to, so progress is visible, and honest, throughout.
Defined windowsEvery engagement runs to a window agreed up front, with a review of what can genuinely be achieved inside it.
Shared KPIsProgress is measured against indicators both sides sign up to, not activity reports.
Experience
30+ years of experience, measured in outcomes. Three files from a much longer list: the problem, the solution, and the results. Open each one.
Positioning and promoting Carlsberg against Heineken, who was surpassing their sales, with a UEFA EURO tournament approaching.
Extensive market research: sales and market-share comparison, consumer surveys on quality, taste, price and brand image, plus trends, pricing, promotions and distribution. Hospitality-venue visits and focus groups read consumer attitudes to each brand.
The research shaped Carlsberg’s successful UEFA EURO campaign: a 40% increase in tournament beer sales, over 1 million cups sold during the Final, 300,000 Carlsberg wigs distributed, and an app reaching 3 million users.
An innovative solution entering a traditional market: key buyers to identify, a marketing and sales strategy to build, and senior public-sector stakeholders to reach across boroughs with varying air and noise standards.
A comprehensive market report with a detailed sales strategies manual, pipeline review and CRM implementation. Fractional leadership connected the company with key industry players and PR; focus groups and interviews brought in industry leaders, MPs and local authorities.
Two pilot projects secured in London boroughs, with talks underway for wider implementation, bringing EMSOL closer to first revenue and stronger investment potential. Stable traction and growth since delivery.
Three years showcasing at the Bett Show without a UK breakthrough, despite success in the EU market, certifications and industry awards.
A plan to assess the viability and extent of entering the UK market: key industry figures, users and influencers reached; focus groups and one-on-one interviews; qualitative research guiding localisation and product enhancement; positioning reviewed against UK competitors.
Product issues and improvement opportunities identified in under six weeks, saving costs ahead of launch. Feedback from the National Retail Federation, an exclusive course-production opportunity with BBC Bitesize, and entry into a UK EdTech programme.
The strategic layer
Elementa Workspace provides the infrastructure. sclr provides the strategic layer. Engagements are backed by premium workspace across London, including rooms built for multi-stakeholder sessions, where founders, investors, and partners meet under one roof.
For companies scaling into the UK, the advantage is structural: you tap into a network that already exists, inside infrastructure that already works, operating from day one instead of building from zero.
Every engagement is led directly by sclr’s senior team, with specialist depth drawn from the sclr expert network: operators across technology, finance, product, and market expansion, and many more advisors within the wider network. When a venture needs a specialist, we connect them directly.
When the case is ready, we open the sclr network on the capital side: UK and Silicon Valley VCs, corporate partners, and the stakeholders a new market demands, as warm, prepared introductions.
