Building the bridge between ambition and funded growth
ScaleUpMentor was founded on a simple belief: every Australian business with a great idea deserves access to the funding and strategy that can make it real. We combine deep grant expertise with hands-on business advisory to help SMEs and scale-ups reach their full potential.
Four practice areas, one growth engine
Our expertise spans the full journey — from securing funding to building, modernising and scaling your business.
What drives everything we do
Outcome-Obsessed
We measure our success by your results — funding secured, revenue unlocked, goals achieved.
Genuine Partnership
We work alongside you, not above you. Your success is our success, and we're in it for the long haul.
Accessible Expertise
No jargon, no gatekeeping. We make grant funding and growth strategy straightforward and actionable.
Relentless Execution
Ideas are nothing without follow-through. We execute with precision and pace to keep your growth on track.
Practitioners, not just advisers
Our team combines hands-on experience in grant consulting, business strategy, finance, and technology — bringing real-world expertise to every client engagement.
Grant Specialists
Former government assessors, R&D consultants, and funding strategists who know what assessors look for — and how to deliver it.
Business Strategists
Operators who have built and scaled businesses across technology, manufacturing, and professional services in Australia.
Industry Experts
Sector-specific advisers across medical, mining, manufacturing, fintech, and more who speak your industry's language.
A distributed team, united by purpose
