Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences. This week on the show we're joined by Ilona Hitel, Founder of Commsco, to discuss the power of PR in the tech industry.

With the UK tech funding landscape facing challenges, Ilona shares her insights on how to navigate these choppy waters and identify investment opportunities.

She also emphasizes the importance of PR for startups and scalups, explaining how it can help them articulate their story, establish credibility, and reach their target audience.

Ilona also sheds light on the key traits to look for when hiring team members and the responsibility of founders to communicate effectively and manage investments wisely.

Join us as we explore these critical topics and discover Ilona's passion for propelling challenger brands to success.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
