FAQ
Questions American founders ask first.
- What does a business strategy consultant actually do?
- A business strategy consultant helps founders and CEOs decide where to focus the next 12 months — which markets to push into, which products to kill, how to price, and how to allocate cash and people. The deliverable isn't a 60-slide deck; it's a small number of decisions you can act on Monday morning.
- How is this different from McKinsey, BCG, or Bain?
- Big-three firms are built for Fortune 500 board rooms — six-figure retainers, large teams, and quarter-long projects. We work one-on-one with the founder, ship in weeks, and price for companies between early traction and roughly $15M ARR.
- How much does business strategy consulting cost in the US?
- US strategy engagements typically range from $15K for a focused diagnostic to $75K+ for a multi-month strategy and operating-system build. We publish flat fees per engagement so you know the number before you start — no hourly billing, no scope creep.
- Do you work with early-stage startups or only established companies?
- Both, with a bias toward companies that already have paying customers. Pre-revenue founders usually need product-market fit work, not strategy. Once you're past ~$1M ARR and the question is 'where do we go next,' that's our zone.
- Is this remote, or do you travel to meet US clients?
- Engagements run remote by default over video and async docs — most US founders prefer the speed. On-site working sessions in major US cities (NYC, SF, Austin, Chicago, Miami) are available for Strategy and Scale engagements.
- How long before I see results?
- Clarity engagements deliver a written diagnosis in 2–3 weeks. Strategy engagements produce a 12-month plan in 4–6 weeks. Scale work — the operating systems behind the plan — runs 8–12 weeks. Most clients see decisions getting easier within the first month.
