We are a team of experienced, almost veteran, strategy consultants and corporate finance experts who have previously worked at the Big 4 and Big 3 consulting firms, large investment banks, hedge funds and private equity firms. We have worked with more than 800 startups in the last 10 years and have helped them reach their startup goals. We provide an end-to-end service to all our clients which includes developing solid business plans with thorough financial projections, preparing investor documentation i.e. pitch decks and assisting with the actual fundraise process – from identifying potential investors to signing a cheque – and estimating a reasonable valuation for their business! It may sound like a cliche but we genuinely are a one-stop shop and can help you get the headstart you need.
We work with startups at various different stages of their lifecycle – from pre-revenue to preparing for an IPO. Some of our clients are at the ideation stage looking not just for consultants but for partners who can work with them side-by-side to help grow their business from idea to launch. And then some at a more mature stage in their business looking for subject matter expertise whether its for expansion, raising capital, or building new partnerships. We have helped them all.

Our mission is to provide unparalleled support to entrepreneurs and startups looking not just for consultants or contractors but partners who would give them the strategic direction they need at such an early stage of their business lifecycle. And we want to do this in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible.
We want to transform the way business consultants work with clients. We can’t stress enough on the importance of having the right partners work alongside you from Day 1 if you really want your startup to be the next unicorn. Which is why we have formed not a team of writers and designers but investment bankers and corporate finance professionals who have worked in the midst of all the ‘action’ leverage from their extensive experience.
