Scaling is a thrilling word – and a dangerous one. For many founders, it means growing fast, entering new markets, chasing opportunity. But without the right foundation, growth turns into chaos: teams burn out, tech breaks down, and customer trust vanishes.

When you started your business, it probably wasn’t late-night emails, endless invoicing, or 5am marketing posts that you dreamed of. You planned to do what you love, on your terms, finally. But the reality?

After working with over 50 university spinouts, I've seen a consistent pattern: many scientifically impressive technologies struggle commercially, whilst seemingly 'simpler' innovations can capture massive markets.

World Entrepreneurs’ Day is a perfect moment to reflect on what defines entrepreneurship. Scaling is often spoken about in terms of numbers, systems, and processes. While those things absolutely matter, the true measure of growth is whether you can keep hold of the heart of your business: the relationships, the people, the values, and the care that made you successful in the first place.

AI detectors promise clarity in a noisy landscape, yet results can mislead when used without context.

Scaling a business is one of the most exciting milestones on any entrepreneur’s journey. But it’s also a common point where things can start to unravel. The truth is, what gets you to one level of success rarely takes you to the next. And that can include your team.

Efficiency vs effectivity is a distinction every founder should understand early on. When building a startup, it’s tempting to measure success by how quickly things get done or how many tasks are completed in a day. Yet speed and activity are not the same as progress.

Founders are watching two very different AI stories unfold. Some teams rocket to big revenue almost overnight; others compound steadily with better margins and retention. Both paths exist – but what separates durable growth from flash-in-the-pan isn’t raw speed. It’s vector: speed in the right direction.
