GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH DECLINE
Highest ENTREPRENEURIAL GROWTH from 2007 – 2012 is among
minority businesses. Yet, productivity is stunted with little job growth.
Investing in business productivity presents opportunity for inclusive growth.
ScaleUp Partners delivers measurable
value as a strategic ally for companies,
foundations, universities, NGOs and
governments addressing large-scale
economic issues impacted by
demographic shifts.

The language we speak
What is Inclusive CompetitivenessTM?
Our strategic planning process is the
solution to empowering underrepresented
populations to be more productive as
employees and employers in today’s
tech-based innovation economy.
Inclusive CompetitivenessTM bridges
the gap between two isolated islands:
• economic inclusion
• regional competitiveness strategies
Johnathan Holifield
Scaleuppartners.com
“America cannot reach her
highest economic
competitiveness goals
with so much of her
population producing so
little.
“Inclusive
Competitiveness is a
new economic strategy
and framework that
creates community
systems to empower
underrepresented
populations to compete in
a 21st century knowledge-
based, tech-driven
globally competitive
innovation economy.”
Johnathan Holifield, Co-founder ScaleUp Partners Architect of Inclusive Competitiveness Author of: The Future Economy and Inclusive Competitiveness
We empower our clients through
a proprietary process called
Inclusive Competitiveness™.
Using this strategic framework,
our clients can empower
underrepresented populations
(i.e. women, minorities and rural
residents) to improve their
performance, become more
productive and enhance their
quality of life. Increasing the level
of productivity improves the
region’s overall economic
competitiveness.

ScaleUp helps clients discover ways to connect isolated communities of influence with underrepresented communities.
Committed to “community process before community products,” we introduce a new narrative toward a common understanding and shared economic vision among leaders, investors and stakeholders who typically do not engage one another across the various channels of isolated silos.

ScaleUp transforms our client into a
local TrimTab Organization.
The TrimTab is a convening
authority that can galvanize the
power of local, regional and national
leaders and stakeholders across the
eight communities of influence.
Increased regional collaboration
produce competitive strategies with
measureable outcomes in
productivity and economic gains.
1. Develop and retain local talent.
2. Cultivate a highly qualified
workforce.
3. Create a sustained deal flow
from scalable enterprises
produced by local high-growth
entrepreneurs.
“A large ship goes by, and then comes the
rudder. On the edge of the rudder is a miniature
rudder called a trimtab. Moving the trimtab
builds a low pressure, which turns the rudder
that steers the gigantic ship with almost no
effort. One individual can be a trimtab, making a
major difference.”
Buckminster Fuller
Competitiveness
The power of the Trimtab is in its multiplier effect, enabling a small organization to have an outsized exponential impact on the local innovation ecosystem.
