How we engageScale-up growth
Scale-up growth.
We act as a catalyst: a minority, non-controlling stake, sized on the recast plan.

- The recast 18-month plan
For a post-revenue scale-up the constraint is rarely capital alone. Selling rests on the founder. Engineering cannot hire fast enough. The board waits for numbers. We act as a catalyst: we bring the 6X Factors as one programme and take a minority, non-controlling stake, sized on your plan recast with the programme inside it. Strategy, culture and operations stay with you. This is our standard scale-up engagement.
What we bring
- 1X Revenue EngineeringSales and marketing capacity, built for you, running Gateway’s proven method.
- 2X Software Engineering & Tech ExcellenceEngineers, architects and AI expertise, more or fewer as your plan needs.
- 3X Smart Growth CapitalWe invest in the programme we deliver, together with your lead investor, at an agreed valuation.
- 4X Governance & Back OfficeReporting, finance, legal and a CFO when you need one.
- 5X Strategic Mentorship & Global NetworkFrom day 1, the best fit from our leadership teams and network; a CRO, CMO, CTO or CFO on demand.
- 6X Founder LeverageThe best of Gateway at your doorstep; you become a company builder who adapts and moves fast.
How it starts
An intro call, then two workshops with all decision-makers in the room. Workshop 1 recasts your 18-month plan month by month with the programme inside it. Workshop 2, by day 7, agrees roles, markets, governance level and board participation, with the amount and the equity model. The LOI follows by day 10, and the programme is working within six weeks.
How this fits
We engage in four ways. They share one principle: capacity before capital. The 6X Factors work as one programme under one agreement, and the result we measure is revenue. How we engage describes all four.
Other ways we engage
Start-up
We engage with experienced professionals to kickstart their entrepreneurial journey, as co-founders.
Scale-up transformation
We take equal responsibility for the transformation: a fifty-fifty partnership with the founder, with Gateway Group sharing the operational load.
M&A and JV
Joint ventures or 100% acquisitions for growth, case by case.
Next step: a two-hour workshop.
Book the intro call and we fix the workshop date on it.
