ScaleUP Ventures

ScaleUP Ventures

ScaleUP Ventures was founded by a team that includes Michor Pleijzier, who serves as CRO and ScaleUp Coach, and Tim van der Sman as Digital Marketeer. The firm's wealth origin is not publicly disclosed. The firm's strategy centers on coaching and scaling growth-stage companies, with a focus on operational acceleration rather than pure financial investment. Case studies highlight portfolio companies such as Quatt, Spark Projects, Promax, NONONS, Parkos, and Hosted Energy. The firm operates across North America, with offices in Boston, New York, Bedford, and Toronto. ScaleUP Ventures does not publicly disclose its team size or total assets under management. The firm's model combines coaching, digital marketing, and advisory services to support portfolio companies. An offering called the ScaleUp Test, which has been completed by over 1000 clients, provides growth insights and a PDF with tips. The firm's structural differentiator is its coaching-first model, where it acts as an operator for portfolio companies rather than a traditional capital allocator. This hands-on approach aims to drive rapid growth — such as helping Quatt reach 100 employees in two years — distinguishing it from conventional venture firms.
