- Uncover your unique value proposition
- Introduce processes and KPIs
- Untangle yourself from the day-to-day
- Become a market leader while reducing marketing costs
- Achieve the best exit price

Written in a clear, honest and engaging style by Felix Velarde, founder of the 2Y3X growth accelerator, which has been helping businesses scale since 2016. Velarde founded one of the world's first web design consultancies, before spending a twenty-year career creating, growing and selling digital marketing's highest-profile businesses.

Critics Review

Europe produces more start-ups than the US. Our problem is a scale-up problem. This excellent book tells us how to do it
Dr Hermann Hauser FRS, FREng, KBE, Amadeus Capital Partners
Felix has distilled some of the best strategies he's learnt over twenty-five years of leading businesses of varying sizes into an easy-to-read framework. He expertly lays out the journey a business needs to undertake to scale. He breaks it down into digestible steps, allowing you to achieve your goals via well-structured frameworks and engaging stories along the way. I highly recommend you read this book to help you triple your business in two years, as many of his clients have, without stressing your employees or creating burnout
Andrew Ellis, founder, Like Minds
There are many business books that talk about what other companies have done in the past, but it's not often you get a step-by-step guide on how to grow your business from someone who has done it many times already. Scale at Speed is relevant, practical and essential for all entrepreneurs looking to grow their business
Ronan Gruenbaum, Dean and Professor of Practice, Hult International Business School
This is a must-read book for all those entrepreneurs who are convinced that they do not need to read any book to enable them to run their business. Well, think again. This is a book that sparks ideas and gives you a framework to propel business growth. Scaling isn't easy - and anyone who has tried knows that is an understatement. While there is no magic answer, this book will give you, your board and your team strategies for scaling that produce results.

This is not a book of fancy words and empty promises; it is a book written by someone who has been there and done it, has the battle scars to prove it and is prepared to share the secrets of that success with others
Margaret Manning OBE, entrepreneur, diversity advocate and former chair of the UK-ASEAN Business Council
Felix Velarde has been advising People Centered Internet through the transition to my chairmanship from our founding chair, Vint Cerf. Our mission is to make the world a better place for all - and as a global organisation we need to be highly effective. The tools and principles he describes in detail in Scale at Speed have proven practical, sound and achievable at every step. Read this book, you won't regret it
Mei Lin Fung, chair and co-founder, People Centered Internet
In Scale at Speed, Velarde has provided those who lead in organisations with the critical roadmap for growth, from the long-term strategic to the short-term tactical
Gary A. Bolles, chair for the Future of Work, Singularity University
The strategies in Scale at Speed are really helpful if you want to grow quickly and sustainably, whether you're setting up your first or your fiftieth business
Oliver Cookson, founder of Myprotein and author of Bootstrap Your Life
