Member Reviews

The reason I joined is, and was the same as when we first met, I basically want to meet from peers in other companies, in similar positions and how they approach decision-making.

My motivation for joining Upscalers is primarily one of learning and connection. Every single member of Upscalers that I’ve interacted with just brings a very different way of thinking.

Finally a group that I can join that understands how these opportunities & the process work. To be part of a community of like-minded people who want to invest in a similar way as me is game changing.
