Leadership for Founders, 3-5/6 November 2025

Scale yourself to Scale your company

Cette page est disponible uniquement en anglais car Leadership for Founders est un programme enseigné en anglais.

A startup with amazing technology, a great product selling into a growing market…. Wonderful, but somehow the famous hockey stick of growth is not happening.  Or the hyper-growth is there, and the speed and complexity are causing you to lose sleep every night. 

Could it be your team that isn’t well aligned?  Could it be your leadership capabilities that need to be reviewed and augmented?  You were the perfect CEO for the early days. Still, as you started to scale, with more people, different customer segments, clients that expect to be handled as if you have a mature team, and investors putting pressure on you, you’ve begun to wonder if you’re up to the task of leading your venture into the next stage.

 

Why should you participate?

  • 3 days immersion with a small group of founders/CEOs like you
  • Top notch professor from IMD
  • An extended network of entrepreneurs, Swiss and Singaporians
  • 1 additional optionnal day with facilitated business meetings and investors contacts in S'pore

Admission criteria and process

This three-day program is designed for founders/CEOs of companies that are scaling, whether just starting or fully into it. (From Series A and minimum 10 employees but we expect the majority of the group to have min 20-30 employees and up to 100+).

If you’ve done the LeadiNNg to Scale-Up program, you are automatically eligible (first come first served). Otherwise, we will plan a quick interview to make sure it is a good fit for you.

The maximum number of participants is 20.
