The Northwind team
About us

Built by operators, for operators

We're not career consultants. Our partners have shipped products, run P&Ls, and navigated downturns. That experience shows up in every recommendation we make.

  • Outcomes over output

    We measure success by client KPIs — not billable hours.

  • Senior-led delivery

    The people you meet are the people doing the work.

  • Knowledge transfer first

    We make ourselves redundant. Your team owns what we build.

FAQ

Common questions

How do your engagements typically work?
Most engagements start with a 4 – 6 week diagnostic. We then design the work plan together. Engagements run 3 – 12 months on average, with weekly check-ins and a fixed steering committee.
What's your pricing model?
Mostly fixed-fee for diagnostics, mixed time-and-materials for delivery. We never bill against junior consultants you didn't approve, and we cap escalations in writing.
Do you work with very early-stage companies?
Selectively. We have a discounted advisory program for pre-seed and seed startups (capped at 4 hours/month). Ask us about it.
What's your average client tenure?
Around 4 years. Many clients hire us for a single project and end up keeping us on retainer. We see that as the best measure of whether we're useful.
Are you available internationally?
Yes. Offices in San Francisco and London. Project teams operate across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
