First conversation
A direct discussion about the business, the ambition, and whether we are the right partner. No pitch deck required and no obligation on either side.
Our startup consulting process
Few priorities.
Real progress.Our startup consulting process, stage by stage — from first conversation to measurable results.
Our method is deliberately plain. Understand the business honestly, choose the few decisions that change its trajectory, then stay until they are done.
01 — The stages
How an engagement runs.
Our consulting process is deliberately short on ceremony: four stages, each ending in decisions the business can act on.
Diagnosis
Two to three weeks inside the numbers, the market, and the team. We surface what is actually constraining growth rather than what is easiest to fix.
The plan
A short written plan: the few priorities that matter, who owns them, how we will measure them, and what we are deliberately not doing.
Execution
Working sessions on a fixed rhythm. We stay in the detail — pricing, hiring, messaging, capital — until the plan is real in the business.
Partnership
Engagements often become long relationships, and sometimes investments. We keep a standing seat for the companies we back.
02 — Ways to work together
Three shapes an engagement takes.
Advisory retainer
Continuous senior counsel with a set working rhythm and direct access between sessions.
Project engagement
A defined problem — repositioning, a growth plan, capital readiness — with a clear end state.
Investment partnership
Capital plus involvement. Our own money in the business and our team in the room.
