A 90-day strategic sprint for ventures building the future of health and life sciences. Starting Spring 2026.

You’ve taken a complex idea, found traction, raised early funding, and maybe started to build a team. Somewhere along the way, things got more complicated.

Now you’re facing a new set of questions:

• What do I actually want this business to become?

• Is my current team the right one for the next phase?

• Are we building around the opportunity or around old assumptions?

• What will I regret not fixing now, before things move faster?

The Smart Scale Programme creates time and space to ask those questions, then build answers you can act on.

It’s designed for the stage where founding teams evolve, strategies shift, and leadership starts to mean something different, where the real work of scaling begins.

Delivered by the University of Bath Innovation and Entrepreneurship team, in partnership with NatWest and the globally recognised SETsquared network, the programme brings together operational experience, sector insight, and a trusted peer community.
