Working with startups gave me hands-on experience that no case study could match. I helped build go-to-market strategies that actually launched products.
Kellogg School of Management
Class of 2024
I helped real companies raise capital. I built investor-ready pitch decks and financial models. This experience accelerated my career by 10 years.
The Wharton School
Class of 2023
I worked on real, high-impact strategic projects for ambitious growing companies that I will stay in touch with for years to come.
Columbia Business School
Class of 2024
Matched in a day. Scoped cleanly. Paid on time. I’ll keep coming back — every project so far has been worth the effort and well organized.
Harvard Business School
Class of 2024
Finally, project work that respects MBA-level thinking — not busywork. The scope was clear from day one and the client valued my strategic input.
Berkeley Haas
Class of 2025
I shipped a pricing project that the client still uses. That’s the bar I now hold every engagement to, and it’s made me a sharper strategist.
Stanford GSB
Class of 2023
Clear scope, sharp clients, and work I can put on a resume with pride. Every project felt like real consulting, not a filler internship task.
MIT Sloan
Class of 2024
Better than cold outreach. Better briefs. Better outcomes. Simple as that — I spent less time chasing leads and more time doing real work.
NYU Stern
Class of 2025
Remote, high-trust projects with founders who actually wanted my input. It felt like being a true partner, not just an extra pair of hands.
Oxford Saïd
Class of 2024
I landed a role through a project. The relationship outlived the brief, and the client brought me back for two more engagements after that.
AGSM
Class of 2023
Applied Friday, kicked off Monday. The platform just moves — no drawn-out interviews, no waiting around, just straight into meaningful work.
Kellogg
Class of 2025
Quality over volume. Every listing felt worth opening, and the clients I matched with were serious about the problems they needed solved.
Wharton
Class of 2024
Protected payments, clear deliverables — I could focus on the work instead of chasing invoices or wondering if the scope would shift midway.
Columbia
Class of 2025
The clients were operators. The feedback was direct. I grew fast because every project pushed me to think and deliver like a real consultant.
Harvard Business School
Class of 2023
Short projects, real ownership. Exactly what I wanted between terms — enough structure to feel supported, enough freedom to make it mine.
Berkeley Haas
Class of 2024
The briefs were tight. The work was real. That’s rare to find in student projects, and it’s why I keep coming back for more engagements.
Stanford GSB

FAQ
A short, structured guide to one specific piece of business work — a pitch deck, a pricing model, a hiring plan — written to get you from "I don't know where to start" to "I have a first draft" in one sitting.
Five minutes, give or take. Each one is built to be finished in a single sitting, not saved for "later" and forgotten.
No. They're written in plain language on purpose — no jargon, no assumed MBA vocabulary. If a term matters, it's explained inline.
A short intro framing the problem, then a clear set of advantages so you know why the strategy matters before you commit time to it. Some also include templates, checklists, or examples you can adapt directly.
Search gives you a hundred takes with no order and no filter. Every breakdown here is scoped to one topic, one outcome, and structured the same way — so you're not stitching together five blog posts to get one answer.
Talent from top MBA and graduate programs, drawing on real project work — not generic content written to rank on a search engine.
Yes. Filter by stage (Idea through Exit) or by function (Fundraising, Marketing, Ops, and more) to find what's actually relevant to where you are right now.

Yes — [placeholder: link or contact method]. The library grows based on what people actually ask for.
No. They're the fast, self-serve starting point — the thing you read before a call, not instead of one. If a project needs real hands-on work, that's what The Club's Match-Maker is for.
