Degrees ConsultingDelft–Rotterdam
For non-profits & social enterprises

A consulting team, at no cost, on your hardest question.

If your organisation's primary goal is impact rather than profit, you likely qualify. Student consultants do it for the experience and the mission; quality is protected by our review system, not a fee.

The engagement — no surprises

How it works, week by week

Week 0

A scoping call

A structured discovery conversation: your challenge, your constraints, what success looks like. One hour, and it commits you to nothing.

Week 1

A written proposal

A scope you sign off on — what we will answer, what we won't, and what you'll hold at the end. No surprises mid-project.

Weeks 2–11

The project

A team of 4–6 student consultants with a dedicated team lead. A mid-point review where you course-correct, and working sessions as the analysis firms up. Your time: about an hour a week.

Final week

A board-ready presentation

Presented to you and yours, with every underlying analysis handed over. Yours to use, cite, and build on.

Quality, gently insisted on

Why free doesn't mean unchecked

Every deliverable passes an AI-assisted senior review before it reaches you — the full story is on the home page, and the system itself is on GitHub.

Say hello

Start the scoping call

Four fields. We reply within a week, usually faster — one email from a person, not a sequence. The call itself commits you to nothing.

A small honesty note: this form is a design preview — it goes live with the site.
