01 — What they say
The same four things,
over and over.
Read enough exit surveys and the patterns stop beinganecdotes. These four recur across nearly every cohort,regardless of industry or company size — each one in aparticipant's own words.
01
It forced them to step back
A recurring answer: the cohort created the time to work on the business rather than in it.
“SCALE UP forced me to step back from day-to-day responsibilities to focus on our business goals and how we plan to accomplish them.”
Walter Esker · Account Manager, PMR
02
The AI module lands hardest
Module 5 is the one participants most often cite as immediately usable.
“The AI portion blew my mind and will be put to use immediately.”
Jean Mineo · Executive Director, Bellforge Arts Center
03
The modules build
Participants notice the sequencing — that each session depends on the one before it rather than standing alone.
“Each module seemed to build off the previous. It exposed me to so many new, exciting tools.”
Joe Dorrian · CEO, ITI Devices
04
Chris shows up after hours
Some of the most emphatic praise is not about content at all. It is about time spent outside the sessions.
“Far and away the best part was the incredibly insightful and generous time Chris spent outside of the sessions working on our materials with us.”
Natalie Kuldell · Executive Director, BioBuilder
