Small businesses, big ambitions: Scale90 launches in New York

Helping small businesses grow in competitive markets is the focus of Scale90, a New York-based company that was launched on October 1.

Its principals are Daren Hawthorne, Derrick Gamble and Jae Sims, all of whom have experience working with micro companies in management or advisory roles. Hawthorne, chief executive officer (CEO) of Scale90, spoke about the fledgling organisation’s immediate goals in an interview with Observer Online.

“Our primary objective is to help entrepreneurs turn their ambitions into businesses that can grow beyond their constant personal involvement. Many owners have the drive and a strong product or service, but need better processes, clearer priorities and more consistent follow-through,” he said.
