Strategy · Fundraising · AI
Twenty years building companies and getting them funded, across fintech, technology and growth. Applied directly to your business — not advice from the sidelines. Work that ships.
What we do
Most companies don't need an AI strategy — they need three workflows automated properly. We map how work actually moves through your organisation, identify where time leaks, and build automated workflows that remove it. Practical, measurable, and live in weeks rather than quarters.
Implementation of modern systems, plus the training that makes them stick. We bring small and medium-sized teams up to a level where AI is part of daily work, not an experiment running in a corner — and where the underlying infrastructure holds, including payment processing built and integrated across Europe and the Middle East. Your people leave with capability, not dependency.
We don't write cheques. We open the right doors, and make sure you're ready when they open. That means connecting founders to the funds that actually fit — a network of 20+ across the UK, Germany and Sweden — and streamlining everything around the raise so it doesn't stall: the structure, the story, the order things happen in. More than €100m raised by the companies we've worked with, across Europe and the Middle East.
Management consultation for teams carrying more than they have the structure to handle. We work alongside leadership on priorities, accountability and pace — the operating habits that separate companies that scale from companies that stall.
The approach
A short, honest diagnostic. Where the business actually is, what's holding it, and what's worth fixing first.
A prioritised plan with owners, sequencing and a defined outcome. Scoped to what your team can genuinely absorb.
We stay in the work through implementation. You keep the capability after we leave.
Twenty years, four disciplines
Northstrat was founded on a simple observation: the advice most companies receive comes from people who have never had to deliver it. Two decades in fintech, fundraising, marketing and technology — as an operator, not an observer — means every recommendation we make is one we have had to execute ourselves.
More than €100m raised by the companies we've worked with, across Europe and the Middle East. Over 30 raises supported — introductions made, and the process around them streamlined. Payment infrastructure built, integrated and running in production. Teams moved from improvised process to systems that hold when the volume arrives.
That range is the point. A cap table problem is rarely only a cap table problem, and an automation project that ignores how the finance function actually runs will fail quietly and expensively. Having sat on the founder's side of that table — building the companies and preparing them for the raise — we tend to see where the two meet before it becomes a decision you have to unwind.
Client work is confidential, so you won't find a logo wall here. You'll find the results instead.
We work with a small number of clients at a time. That's deliberate.
