What Makes Us Different?
We Speak Your Language
We’ve been in the trenches and have supported due diligence processes, so we get the specific challenges you face. No more generic advice – you get actionable support, reporting and diagnosis tailored to your deal.
We Get Our Hands Dirty
Forget ivory tower consultants. We’re an extension of your team, working alongside you at any level – boardroom, strategy, or operational – to ensure you know what you are investing in, or can quickly diagnose and fix existing growth challenges.
We Can Strengthen the Board
We don’t just advise and consult either, we can add further value as investor NxDs or Chairs to further align us in the process. It's not an offering that fits every deal, but where it does it can create much deeper, longer term alignment and relationship.

FAQs
Our consultants, led by managing partner Simon Penson, all have significant exit stories to tell with Simon himself having exited two different digital businesses over the last 15 years. The first was one of the first affiliate content groups and the second a 280 person agency in a deal worth north of £35m.
Alongside that Simon also helped to build one of the UK’s foremost VC Funds and has invested in and supported more than 100 B2B SaaS and tech-enabled service businesses and now he works as an advisor, consultant and NxD for several B2B businesses.
He now supports several PE houses and VC funds with commercial due diligence and existing portfolio growth support.
The answer is simple – B2B! But to be even more specific we have the most experience across the agency and consultancy ecosystems as well as tech-enabled service organisations and B2B Software.
We partner with VC funds and PE Houses in two ways:
- To support new investment commercial due diligence covering the end-to-end spectrum from team and organisation structure to sales and marketing analysis and even culture.
- Supporting existing portfolio companies diagnose and fix existing growth issues so they can run faster.
Costs vary depending on the stage of the business, amount of time commitment needed for the role. We work on both a consultancy/strategy level but also have capability and capacity to execute also, especially across the sales, marketing and RevOps piece.
That’s easy! Simply get in touch via the Contact Us button in the menu and we will be in touch the same day. We offer free consultancy sessions as fit is important for us too. We ONLY work with those who we feel we can truly help reach ‘success’.
Scaled is a ‘mission-focused’ business. It was borne out of the personal learnings of exiting a significant B2B agency business and the realisation that money doesn’t solve everything. We found our collective purpose in wanting to help others build and make that journey just a little less painful than our own. Every Scaler that joins must share this belief if they are to make it through our intensive interview process. It has to MATTER because when it does we deliver.
