Business & Strategy experts
Talk through your biggest business decisions 1:1 with experienced operators, founders and strategists, in a private video session booked around your schedule.
Whether you are testing a new business model, preparing to raise money or trying to get costs under control, an hour with someone who has done it before can save months of trial and error. DiscussIt business and strategy experts help with business model design, strategy and day-to-day operations, entrepreneurship and early-stage startups, fundraising and venture capital, mergers, acquisitions and partnerships, and transformation and cost reduction programmes.
Typical sessions include pressure-testing a pitch deck before investor meetings, mapping out a go or no-go decision on a new market, reviewing the economics of a pricing change, planning the first 90 days after an acquisition, or working out where a growing company is losing time and money. Bring your numbers, your plan or simply the question that is keeping you up at night, and leave with a clearer view of your options and next steps.
Every expert sets their own hourly rate, shown on their profile before you book, and there are no booking fees on top. Browse the profiles below, compare backgrounds and reviews, and pick a time that suits you. Sessions take place over a private video link, so there is nothing to install and no travel involved.
