Scaling Unlocked - Hosted by LUNA
Scaling Unlocked (hosted by LUNA)
A small, curated session for post-seed founders and CEOs navigating the shift into scale.
This is not a typical panel. It’s a focused, discussion-led conversation bringing together investor, founder and legal perspectives on how things start to change as companies grow.
Why this session
As companies move into a scaling phase, complexity builds across operations, investor expectations and internal decision-making.
This session is designed to explore how those challenges show up in practice, and the decisions that start to matter more - through honest, experience-led discussion.
What to expect
The conversation will draw on investor, founder and legal perspectives, and cover areas such as:
How governance evolves as companies grow
How investor expectations shift, and how that shows up internally
Where operational complexity starts to build
Using financial discipline to maintain visibility and control
How early decisions impact long-term outcomes
The focus is on real examples, trade-offs and lessons learnt, rather than ideal scenarios.
The speakers
We’ve brought together a mix of perspectives to reflect the realities of scaling:
Rochelle Schuenker | Tiger & Bear Group (TBP & LUNA)
Mark Velik | EVP
Alex Colvin | Second-time founder and former CEO & Founder of Pendula
Moderator: James Solomons | LUNA
Who this is for
This session is designed for post-seed founders and CEOs who are:
Moving into a scaling phase, with growing teams and increasing complexity
Navigating more structured investor expectations
Beginning to put more formal systems and discipline in place
The room will be intentionally small to ensure a high-quality, relevant conversation.
