CGH Growth Track — Cohort 1

A 6-session advisory programme for founders and leaders ready to close the gap between where they are and where they are capable of going.

What is the CGH Growth Track?

Uncover · Build · Grow

You've built something real and you know where you want to go — but right now it feels like you're stuck.

The CGH Growth Track puts 12 founders and directors through a structured 6-session programme to diagnose what's blocking you, build what's missing, and grow with people who understand your context. Fully subsidised. Competitively selected.

Over 6 fortnightly Saturday sessions, you will work through 5 key dimensions of your business or organisation with expert facilitation, peer accountability, and tools you keep and use beyond the programme.

Who Is This For?

Track A — Growth-Stage SMEs

You are the founder or co-founder of a business that has been operating for 3+ years with paying customers and a revenue-generating track record. You are experiencing a growth plateau you cannot diagnose, and you are ready to invest seriously in the next stage.

You are looking for

  • Strategic clarity
  • The right partnerships and funding connections
  • An implementation support partner & peer group that understands your context

Track B — Mission-Driven Organisations

You are the Executive Director or founder of an NGO, CBO, or social enterprise that has been operating for 3+ years with active programmes. Mission-driven impact is your primary measure of success, and you are navigating a gap between mission ambition and operating capacity—or a funding transition.

You are looking for

  • Stronger systems and MEL capacity
  • A clearer funding and partnership strategy
  • Better ways to demonstrate and communicate impact
