Degrees ConsultingDelft–Rotterdam · polder works
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 uniquely affordable strategy for non-profits and social enterprises. This is polder country: nobody keeps their feet dry alone.
NAP +0.60 m — the mission: why this land is worked at all
Strategy consulting for organisations doing good — reclaimed like new land, made uniquely affordable.
We make high-quality strategy consulting available to non-profits, social enterprises, and mission-driven institutions, while giving students from TU Delft and Erasmus Rotterdam their first real consulting experience.
Our focus is impact — but it isn't a gate. We work with almost any organisation trying to do good. If that's you, you're in the right place.

NAP ±0.00 m — sea level: the facts, surveyed
What we are
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.
These six parcels are where most of our work sits — but the branch is always expanding and we take projects case by case. If your challenge sits outside this list, ask anyway; out-of-scope inquiries are welcome.
NAP −1.35 m — new ground: what's been reclaimed so far
Our work
Our first case studies are being prepared for publication, with client consent. Until then, here is exactly what a 180DC engagement produces: a board-ready strategy deck, every underlying analysis handed to you, quality-assured before it reaches your desk.
NAP −1.65 m — new land: made by the people who work it
No consulting experience required — engineers, designers, economists wanted
We recruit twice a year, once per consulting cycle: Cycle 1 recruits in September; Cycle 2 recruits in January/February.
Consultant
No experience required — and we mean it. Our consultants arrive fresh and learn on the job, with a trained team and a Team Leader around them. People sometimes talk themselves out of applying because they think they need consulting experience first — you don't, and it shouldn't stop you.
Team Leader
Team Leaders lead a consulting team through a cycle. Experience is wanted here: the usual path is one cycle as a Consultant, then stepping up to Team Leader the next.
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 choose to spend their evenings on high-impact strategy work.
Knowledge partners — trainers, mentors, and expert advisors — raise the bar of our client work and get a front seat on how the next generation consults.
partner crests — awaiting first partnerships; none flies here that wasn't earned
NAP −2.60 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 −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. Each plot is reserved for the photo session — no stock faces on this land.
