[Sales Assembly](https://www.salesassembly.com/), the only dedicated resource & peer community for sales leaders of Chicago’s growth-stage tech companies, recently announced they would be launching a new program geared towards smaller teams in the earlier stages of their sales growth. The sales/revenue-focused accelerator, named [VentureSCALE](https://www.americaninno.com/chicago/first-look/a-new-sales-startup-accelerator-launches-in-chicago/), accepted 9 fast growing B2B tech companies into the initial cohort, which kicked off in March, and Peanut Butter is thrilled to be one of them.

When discussing the program with [Illinois Technology Association’s (ITA)](http://www.illinoistech.org/) Gary Hotze, VentureSCALE Founder Jeff Rosset said this about the program, “Early stage tech companies live in a ‘Sales No Man’s Land’ where it’s too early and expensive for them to hire a dedicated sales leader, yet getting the resources and support they need from consultants or service providers can be cost-prohibitive.” He then continued, “VentureSCALE solves that problem, by getting early-stage companies access to the tools, information and expertise they need…in a format that fits perfectly with the size and scope of their business.”
