NAP +1.20 m — the dike crown, where you can see everything
Land below sea level stays dry by engineering and agreement.
So does good work. We are the first multi-city branch of 180 Degrees Consulting — TU Delft engineering × Erasmus Rotterdam business, doing pro bono strategy for non-profits and social enterprises. This is polder country: nobody keeps their feet dry alone.
NAP +0.00 m — sea level: the facts, surveyed
What we are — benchmarked, like everything here
impact numbers — honestly sourced, arriving with our first Impact Report. Survey markers are never guessed.
NAP −1.20 m — the fields: six parcels, worked in strips
What we do
Dutch land is divided in long, honest strips — verkaveling. So is our work: each engagement takes exactly one parcel.
Digital Transformation
The right tools and processes, so a small team stops losing hours to manual work.
Marketing & Engagement
Reaching the audiences your mission serves, and the donors and volunteers who sustain it.
Financial Sustainability
Funding models and cost structures that survive beyond the next grant cycle.
Market Assessment
Evidence on where demand, partners, and competition actually are before you commit.
Operational Efficiency
Finding where effort leaks out of your processes and redesigning around capacity.
Impact Measurement
The numbers that prove your work works, for boards and funders.
NAP −2.00 m — below sea level, still dry: the pump
Every deliverable stays dry because the pump never stops
A polder survives by continuous, unglamorous vigilance. Ours is an AI-assisted review our branch builds in-house and publishes in the open: before any deck reaches a client it is checked for evidence, logic, and clarity against professional consulting standards. The rule at the bottom of it all: a finding must quote the document verbatim, or stay silent.
The consultant does every rewrite. The reviewer only teaches. Inspect the pump — it's public.
first case study — in preparation with client consent; the frame only ever holds real work
NAP −1.50 m — new land: made by the people who work it
No consulting experience required — engineers, designers, economists wanted
Work directly with a non-profit's leadership for a semester: real client, real stakes, a trained team around you — and a board-ready deliverable you helped build when you leave.
What you learn: structured problem-solving, client communication, and AI-assisted consulting methods no other student club teaches. Who we want: students from both campuses — the Delft×Rotterdam mix is the brand.
application timeline & portal — opens with recruitment season
NAP −1.80 m — shared water: partnerships
Two ways to keep the polder dry with us
Recruiting partners get access to a self-selecting pool of ambitious students from two top universities — the engineers and economists who chose to spend their evenings doing pro bono strategy work.
Knowledge partners — trainers, mentors, and pro-bono experts — raise the bar of our client work and get a front seat on how the next generation consults.
partner logos — awaiting first partnerships; no crest flies here that wasn't earned
NAP −4.00 m — the water board: who answers for the level
Het waterschap — the executive board, 2026
The waterschappen are the oldest democratic bodies in the Netherlands: whoever shares the water shares the responsibility. Every 180DC branch is entirely student-run; these eight hold the level. Photos follow the team photo session — no stock faces on this land.
