Techscaler x The Ventures Lab - Grow Your Business Through Impact

What is it?

Do you want to turn your idea into a sustainable venture or are you looking for new ways to grow your business?

ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance is a set of factors measuring a business's impact on society, environment, and how transparent and accountable it is.

Join us for a practical session to understand how ESG can have the potential to grow your business while benefiting the environment and community.

What can I expect?

Techscaler and The Ventures Lab have united to support mission-driven tech ventures to build strong, scalable businesses capable of tackling social or environmental challenges.

Join us for a friendly online session to understand how impact could support your business growth and give you the tools to consider ESG and the essentials you need to start building impact into your business or idea. In this webinar we will cover:

• Why considering impact matters early on in building your business (customer expectations, talent attraction, credibility)
• What to think about at the start (purpose, culture, governance basics)
• Simple ways to get ahead of the curve on environment and inclusion
• How being ahead on ESG is essential to investor readiness
• A quick checklist to take away

Who else will be there?

This webinar will be hosted by Sarah Frame, an entrepreneur and Venture Support Manager with The Ventures Lab at the Challenges Group.

With a background spanning joint ventures in healthcare, education, and business innovation, she is passionate about helping organisations embed impact at the heart of their strategy.

Earlier in her career, she developed Strategy Cards, an innovative training approach that used gamification to spark creativity and collaboration across universities, councils, schools, and consultancy.

Today, her focus is on supporting ventures to grow with purpose, championing impact leadership as a standard for sustainable and commercially successful business.

Sarah will be joined by Megan Graham, Head of Regional Strategy and Performance at CodeBase.

There will also be members of the wider Scottish tech ecosystem in attendance on the Zoom.

About The Ventures Lab

The Ventures Lab, designed by The Challenges Group, exists to build a world where purpose-led enterprises can tackle society’s biggest challenges – and succeed.

Our mission is to ensure impact ventures have the strong foundations they need to grow, secure funding, and deliver the impact they set out to achieve. We don’t just prepare ventures for investment – we work with them to derisk their businesses, strengthen their models, and support their journey from ambition to impact.

Everything we do is designed to enhance the existing support ecosystem in Scotland – working alongside partners to provide flexible, hands-on, and needs-led business growth support that helps ventures truly thrive.

Where and when is this taking place?

This webinar is taking place on Zoom on Thursday 25 September, from 2pm -3pm.
