MARCHSPEAKERS & FACILITATORS
What does it take to scale? Why do so many high growth businesses fail due to premature or haphazard scaling?
We’ve seen the rise in awareness of “The Startup” in the media, at meetups, pitches and co-working spaces. It is, however, the scaleups that are forging the path for the Australian economy.
We all know the success stories of Atlassian, Freelancer and Canva, but what does it take to jump the valley of death that so many startups can’t seem to cross?
There is a plethora of startup conferences and events each year in our capital cities (StartCon, B2B Rocks, Spark Festival, etc etc) that teach about pitching, MVPs, and lean methodology, but don’t cater to our founders that are way past that education and ready to go from 10 to 100 staff or from series A to series B.
There’s a different type of teaching and learning that’s required with this immense growth.
MARCH
In 2019, Catapult is partnering with the very best o r g a n i s a t i o n s t o b r i n g t h e m o s t transformational speakers, thought leaders and experts together for a 2-day conference to help those companies grow faster and scale smarter.
ScaleFest will combine inspiring speakers, not heard anywhere else, with interactive workshops for deep learning and networking for real deals.

Robert Wulff Principal, Griffith Hack
It was probably the most valuable 8 hours I have spent since starting out on the Entrepreneurial journey.
Dominic Cain Co-Founder & CEO at findmyrice.com
Really enjoyed the Challenge the Funder event. By far the best event format I’ve been to, splitting up the panel members for 1 on 1 discussion after the panel. Brilliant!
Tim Hill CEO/Co-Founder at Social Status
I was very impressed… There are 3 or 4 guys that I met today who clearly know their stuff, and I will be using in my business.
Ken Macleod Corporate & Business Advisor, Scotia Macleod
It takes a family to raise a great business. A family of spaces, software platforms, teams, advisors, investors and so much more.
That’s why at ScaleFest–19, we’re looking to connect with a broad set of event partners, advisors and exhibitors to ensure that all aspects of these high–growth companies are looked after.
We look forward to welcoming your organisation to ScaleFest!
Mike Boorn Plener Founder, Catapult
