Some of the very same qualities that helped you succeed as a startup founder are likely to hold you back as you plan to scale up your company.

Here are 5 mindset shifts you need to make to transition from a startup founder to a scaleup founder. 

When your company is on the verge of a sustained growth spurt, it’s all about managing that momentum.
