Scale CEO Vlog
We're excited to see everyone at our AGM on Monday! As we've been preparing end of financial year reporting in preparation for our members meeting, I've been reflecting on the success of Scale Investors. We've had our most successful year with historical performance and number of deals invested showing strong growth. Having run the figures, we can speak convincingly of our performance, money multiples of 2.0x (realised) and 1.4x (unrealised) across the entire portfolio. Individual performance will of course vary, depending on direct investment decision making, but it gives you a picture of how we are tracking. This amplifies one of our key messages to investors, invest early, often, and diversify to benefit from portfolio effects in your early stage investments. Some may argue it beats compounding interest at low rates…
We continue to refine our compelling service offering for keen Investors and believe there is great opportunity to be realised investing in diverse early stage investments. The market is responding, with our area of focus to activate capital backing great female founders gaining strong momentum.
To amplify our message, have a listen to the interview between Bob Officer and Alan Kohler, published by the Eureka Report this week. Nice to hear such seasoned investors who have seen the forces at play and digesting the data supporting our clear economic argument. This was recorded as part of our Female Leaders Fund launch this year.
We've come out of a period of many demo days, some strong cohorts graduating from incubators and accelerators, along with continuing to meet compelling disruptive businesses solving everyday problems. Here's a view of what happened last week in Sydney at Antler's 1st demo day, compelling stuff.
We have curated some of the best companies who've applied to Scale for the market at our upcoming Investor Forums this week, looking forward to your interest and engagement. Here's a list of the businesses presenting for your to preview if you want to be a part of it. This will be our final deal round for 2019 so don't miss it.
