Your Fractional Co-Pilot. On Retainer

VentureEdge Consultants operates as a fractional startup strategist service, supporting startups and early-stage companies across Ireland and the UK. Rather than providing advice alone, VentureEdge delivers high-quality execution – acting as a hands-on strategist, builder, and trusted partner embedded in the founding journey.

I am trialing and testing a simple AI-powered guide to help early-stage founders stress-test and refine their startup ideas. Trained on our own knowledge base, this assistant will walk you through key questions around your concept, market, positioning, and readiness β€” just like Douglas would in a live workshop. If you’re at the very beginning of your journey and want a structured, conversational way to develop your idea, simply click the chat icon and get started.

How It Works

1. Book a Free Discovery Call

We start with a no-pressure conversation to understand your business, your challenges, and what kind of support would be most valuable right now.

2. Choose Your Tier

You’ll pick the level of support that fits your needs and stage β€” from strategic guidance to full hands-on execution. Each tier comes with clear deliverables and fixed pricing.

3. We Define the Scope

We agree on your core priorities β€” whether it’s preparing for a funding round, building a pitch deck, or clarifying your business model. You’ll know exactly what’s being worked on and when.

4. Monthly Execution + Support

I’ll work on your agreed deliverables, meet regularly for strategy sessions, and be available via Slack/email for real-time input. You’ll get actual work done β€” not just ideas.

5. Iterate, Improve, and Grow

Each month we reassess, refine, and expand β€” whether that’s moving into funding, hiring, or GTM planning. You’ll get expert continuity without the overhead of hiring full-time.

6. Long-Term or Exit

You can continue our work month-to-month, or transition with a clear playbook and deliverables to hand over to your team or new hires. No hard feelings β€” just progress.

 

In-person and remote options

Thanks to tools like Google Meet and Zoom, geography isn’t a barrier. Whether you’re across the country or across the globe, we can connect seamlessly β€” no need to book a flight or wear a suit.

Prefer face-to-face? If you're based in Ireland or the UK, I’m happy to meet in person when it makes sense.

β€œWorking with Venture Edge Consultants was a game-changer. I came in with a rough idea and left with a clear strategy, investor-ready pitch deck, and the confidence to actually pitch it. What stood out most was the honesty β€” no fluff, just practical, thoughtful advice that made sense. Highly recommended for any founder navigating the early-stage chaos.”
