KPMG has been working with and supporting businesses to grow for 150 years. Our Emerging Giants team gives you access to the combined technical knowledge and first-hand experience of experts across our networks. KPMG Private Enterprise Access is a shared investment between you and us.

Upon joining one of our cohort groups, you will receive a range of support which will include the following:

• A dedicated cohort lead who will be your day-to-day contact with KPMG allowing you to maximise the value from the Programme;
• A launch event where you will meet the rest of your cohort and the Emerging Giants team who will be supporting you throughout your journey;
• A quarterly ‘One to One’ session with your cohort lead to help you to identify key business ‘hot-spots’ and introductions to relevant technical teams to support your ambitions;
• Invitation to masterclasses, curated networking and roundtable sessions with KPMG, and external guests throughout the programme. Refer to the programme roadmap above.
• A graduation event at the end of the 12-month journey with your fellow cohort members.

You will get practical, deployable advice and insights from a wide range of KPMG experts and scale-up industry veterans. In addition, you will create a strong peer network, all focused on rapidly scaling their businesses. ‘Access’ doesn’t end on graduation, as alumni you will continue the relationships you have built, and continue to receive content, event invitations, and advice.

It is really quite straight forward, register your interest using this link and we’ll be in touch.

Following an initial conversation, we will decide if Access is a good fit for you and your business and set the wheels in motion to get you onboarded to our cohort.

While others might look to take equity in your business, or charge a fee for participation in a programme, we don’t want to do that. We want you to keep control of what you’ve built, whilst we explore how KPMG can work with a future tech titan.

This is an exciting opportunity for both of us!
