Platform01 Consulting Global is a UK-registered startup consultancy headquartered in London. We help founders, scale-ups and their investors make confident decisions on strategy, fundraising and execution.
Our practice was built on a simple principle: senior consultants doing the actual work. No rotating juniors, no overstaffed teams, no theatre. You get partners who have advised on hundreds of startup business plans, financial models, pitch decks, raises and growth strategies — and you get them on your project.
From our London base we serve startup founders across the UK, Europe and North America. Our Middle East practice operates as a sister entity at platform01consulting.com.
We work on fixed scopes and fixed fees, sign mutual NDAs as standard, and pride ourselves on telling founders what they need to hear — not what they want to hear.
UK startup consultancy
A UK startup consultancy for the decisions that matter most.
Platform01 is a London-based startup consultancy working with founders, executive teams and investors. We combine the rigour of top-tier advisory firms with the speed and accountability of a senior-led boutique — so UK startups get sharper thinking, faster decisions and better fundraising outcomes without the overhead of a global consultancy.
Our practice sits at the intersection of startup strategy, fundraising and financial advisory. We are hired when a decision needs to be made well — raising your seed or Series A, entering a new market, pricing a round, or building a credible plan and pitch that a UK investor, lender or board will actually back.
Every engagement is partner-led, scoped to a fixed fee, and structured around weekly working sessions so insight compounds quickly. We write clearly, model carefully, and challenge assumptions openly — because the work has to stand up to investor, lender and board scrutiny long after we hand it over.
Our six core startup service lines
Each mandate is a discrete, partner-led engagement. Most founders start with one and expand from there.
Business Plans
Investor-ready startup business plans built for UK founders, lenders and visa programmes.
Financial Modelling
Bankable startup financial models — three-statement, SaaS/ARR, marketplace and capital plans.
Pitch Deck Services
Investor-grade pitch decks for UK startups raising pre-seed, seed and Series A capital.
Fundraising Support
End-to-end fundraising for UK startups — investor strategy, valuation, data room and outreach.
Growth Strategy
Where-to-play and how-to-win strategy that turns startup ambition into a 24-month plan.
P01 SOaaS — Strategy Office as a Service
A fractional strategy office for founders: planning, KPIs and execution on retainer.
Our team
Top-tier academic pedigree. Battle-tested in the real world.
Our consultants are educated at leading global business schools — including London Business School, Columbia Business School and McGill University — and hold the most rigorous professional qualifications in finance, investment and risk.
Credentials across the team include the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), FMVA (Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst), FRM (Financial Risk Manager), CIPM (Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement) and ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Just as important, our partners are practitioners first. We bring direct operating and advisory experience from Fortune 500 corporates, global financial institutions — investment banks, asset managers and development finance institutions — and top-tier advisory firms across strategy, transaction services and corporate finance.
That combination — elite training plus real P&L, deal and boardroom experience — is what allows us to move quickly, challenge confidently, and deliver work that stands up to investor, lender and board scrutiny.
