VentureSCALE is powered by Sales Assembly, a Chicago-based organization offering resources to growth-stage B2B technology companies.

It hosts annual cohorts of emerging tech founders looking to scale their company with advanced sales support. Eligible companies must have between two and 20 employees, and be generating at least $15,000 in monthly recurring revenue.

Joining a VentureSCALE cohort proactively strengthens the sales strategies and long-term success of early stage B2B tech companies. Each six-month cohort guides 10-12 companies through classroom work, a mentorship program and roundtable discussions. A network of mentors from Chicago's B2B tech C-suites - including Sprout Social, Spothero, LinkedIn, G2 Crowd and more - unpack the fundamentals of prospecting strategies, buying insights and sales recruiting. Cohorts walk away with the knowledge and ability to build a scalable sales and revenue foundation within their business.
