Make Strategy Happen
Scale Up!
The Entrepreneurship Simulator
In the simulation, you will battle to grow your company, face obstacles typical to those of a startup and learn to strategize and scale your company against all odds. Make smart strategic choices, balance your liquidity and try to secure as much investor capital as you can without going bankrupt.
Expect a rollercoaster ride through the life of a startup founder.
Supercluster!
The Innovation Cluster Simulator
Your job is to build the team, grow your industry network, develop key relationships, recruit members, secure funding, and launch special projects.
That sounds like quite a list, doesn’t it? Now try to do it all without going bankrupt, and before your competitors get to the finish line.
Transform!
The Strategy & Transformation Simulator
As part of the leadership team, your responsibility is to lead this company’s transformation and reach 50 billion in valuation.
Can you maintain the existing business, optimize your current cash flow, invest in the future and design a broad portfolio of new business models without over-investing and going bankrupt?

“I’ve been living and teaching entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley my whole life. I’ve never seen a more unique and powerful way to help startups learn how to scale, raise financing and truly understand how to build better companies than the Scale Up! simulation. It emulates real life lessons better than any classroom lecture ever can. I’m integrating simulations from Strategy Tools into my coursework at every opportunity.”

How FH Vorarlberg Explored Experiential Learning – 100% Digital
Due to its tremendous success in 2019, FH Vorarlberg planned to run Scale Up! for its students in 2020 as well, but running an intimate on-campus bootcamp proved to be difficult due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
Over three days in September 2020, Rick and Chris ran the Scale Up! Simulation for this year’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation cohort – fully digital, with participants across multiple countries and time zones.

“I had the great pleasure of taking Strategy Tool’s “Building the Transformational Company” in the Autumn of 2020 and it was personally revelational. The canvas that visualized the political support that I might have for a major transformation was a gut-punch for me, as I recalled my own leadership dilemmas from the past and suddenly it was all obvious why I had found myself so frustrated in my inability to move the organization. How I wished that I knew then, what Strategy Tools has helped me see so clearly now!”
