Congratulation to Scalerator NEO Cohort 9 Graduates
Over the past six months, nine Northeast Ohio companies participated in the ninth Scalerator NEO cohort, a growth-focused program designed to help second-stage businesses scale profitably and sustainably. Guided by workshops on the “3 C’s” of scaling - Customers, Capacity, and Cash - participants worked closely with their teams to develop actionable plans for significant growth.
At the program’s conclusion, each company presented a detailed ScalePlan outlining how they will achieve at least $1 million or 25% revenue growth in the next year, along with strategies to sustain that growth into the future.
Collectively, Cohort 9 represents nearly 300 full-time jobs and $90 million in annual revenue, strengthening both the regional economy and Northeast Ohio’s entrepreneurial community. Participating companies included:
Advanced Distribution Services
Akron Rubber Development Laboratory, Inc.
Mika Metal Fabricating
Moving Ahead Services
PFI Displays
RIMECO PRODUCTS
S3 Technologies Universal Oil Inc.
Universal Oil, Inc.
