What We Do

TrueSpace is the first to define and build infrastructure around the scale-ready business segment—a newly visible, investable class of second-stage companies.

We help these businesses understand their capability to scale, strengthen where it matters, earn certification, and connect to the resources they need to grow.

Why it Matters

Over 2.3 million U.S. businesses sit between startup and scale. Most are invisible or overlooked by capital providers and underserved by traditional programs.
We’re giving them a second chance—with data, discipline, and a clear path forward.

Our Science

We spent 12 years in partnership with Gallup to answer one question:

What makes a business capable of scaling?

The result:

The 5 Conditions Assessment® (5CA)—a predictive tool that evaluates 12 operational systems within a business to determine growth capability.
This research has created the largest dataset ever compiled on second-stage firms, with over 3,000 companies assessed over a multi-year research program.

The Certification That Signals Readiness

Businesses that meet the Scale-Ready Standard™ earn TrueSpace Certification— a credential that signals proven operational capability and financial discipline, demonstrated over a minimum of four intentional quarters of development.
