Strategy & Transformation
Turn a belief about the future into an operating plan for the next 18 months.
Read the practice →0to1 is an advisory for founders and growth-stage companies who would rather solve a specific problem than follow a general playbook.
We work at the moments that decide a company: the first product, the first hundred people, the first real capital, and the first time the operating model breaks under its own growth.
Start from the specific. End with a decision the client can execute.
The playbooks that work inside established industries do not work at the edge of one. A firm building a new category does not need a benchmark. It needs a thesis.
A founder hiring her first hundred people does not need a template. She needs judgement. A company raising growth capital does not need a deck consultant. It needs a counterparty who understands what the capital is for.
We start every engagement from the specific. We end it with a decision the client can execute.
Six practices, one partnership.
A client rarely needs one practice in isolation. A serious engagement usually draws on three or four, coordinated by one partner who owns the outcome.

Every engagement is led by a partner who is personally accountable for the outcome. We do not staff out the thinking. We do not sell time by the hour. We sell outcomes the client can name.
Our deliverables are written for your company and the decision you need to make.
A finished engagement is a set of decisions the client has already begun to execute.
The companies we work with are often still being built. The work stays confidential.
We work where our partners have built, led, or advised at scale. We decline mandates where the learning curve would cost the client time they cannot spare.
The partners do the work. The four people below are the ones who will sit across from you.

Senior Advisor, European Affairs - non-executive
Partner, People & Organization
Founding Advisor - non-executive
When we write, it is because the same question has come up often enough in private conversations that the answer is worth putting in public.
On 0-to-1 and 1-to-n, and why most advice addresses neither.
Boards that govern and boards that merely attend are not the same thing.
What happens when the next hundred people either compound the company or dissolve it.
Secondary, continuation, and structures that let a founder stay without going broke.
Our partners have built, scaled, governed, and advised some of the most ambitious companies and platforms in Europe. We will not list them here. We will show you in the first meeting.
Request a partner conversationIf you are a founder, a CEO, a board chair, a principal, or a family principal and you can describe the question in two paragraphs, a partner will read it personally and reply within 72 hours.
We are not using contact forms right now. The cleanest path is still the right one: send the note directly, with the problem, the company, and the context that matters.
