Governance
The ScaleUp Institute is a private sector, not-for-profit company focused on making the UK the best place in the world to scale up a business.
We are governed by our Main Board which comprises independent directors and directors from the membership as well as the CEO. Day to day operational management is delegated to the CEO.
Main board meetings are held quarterly and our advisory council, comprised of all supporters, meets twice a year. To ensure a strong governance a number of main board sub committees have been established. These include:
- Nomination and remuneration committee
- Audit and Risk committee
- Evidence Committee
- Thematic Committees covering the core areas of need for scaleups
