We consider the proposal that supersymmetry is broken at a scale μ midway between the Planck scale M and the usual weak scale. We show how a phenomenological explicitly softly broken supersymmetric theory can emerge below scale μ. The characteristic scale for the explicit supersymmetry breaking is of order αμ²M. Identifying this with the weak scale {~}250 GeV gives μ~10¹² GeV.
