Benefits & outcomes of being a part of CBRIN
Here's why others choose us, and why you should too

Purpose-Built Space for Growth
Move into Level 4 ScaleUp Hub, dedicated space for businesses that have raised capital or are generating growing revenue. Access affordable office space with favourable terms during your vulnerable growth stage. Benefit from professional facilities without the stress of long-term leases or managing overheads. Scale your physical space as your team grows.

Intensive Growth Support
Join the Growth Lab for focused work on scaling strategy, new market opportunities and team development. Get guidance from experienced entrepreneurs and venture investors who've navigated high-growth challenges. Access tailored support that addresses your specific scaling barriers. Work intensively with peers and advisers on the problems holding you back.

Strategic Connections
Get introductions to investors, advisers and potential customers through our established network. Connect with other scaleup founders at SME breakfasts and networking events.
