Two universities, one team

Different disciplines. One clear direction.

180 Degrees Consulting is the world's largest university-based consultancy. Our Delft–Rotterdam branch combines engineering, design, economics, and business in project teams built around each client's challenge.

Our focus is impact, but it is not a gate. We work with non-profits, social enterprises, and almost any organisation trying to do good. If that sounds like you, start the conversation.

Six service areas

What we do

Each engagement is scoped to one area. These six are where most of our work sits—the branch takes projects case by case and is always expanding.

01

Digital Transformation

Putting the right tools and processes in place so a small team stops losing hours to manual work.

02

Marketing & Engagement

Reaching the audiences your mission serves, and the donors and volunteers who sustain it.

03

Financial Sustainability

Building funding models and cost structures that survive beyond the next grant cycle.

04

Market Assessment

Evidence on where demand, partners, and competition actually are before you commit resources.

05

Operational Efficiency

Finding where effort leaks out of your processes and redesigning them around your capacity.

06

Impact Measurement

Defining and tracking the numbers that prove your work works, for boards and funders.

Our work

What a deliverable looks like

Every engagement ends in a decision you can act on, with the reasoning left visible. Five worked examples show the shapes that reasoning takes.

Each is rebuilt from a real engagement and stripped of anything that identifies the organisation. Named case studies follow once clients agree to be named.

  • Market assessmentChoosing between ten options with one transparent scorecard
  • Operating strategyThree priorities, sequenced into four phases
  • Financial sustainabilityA mixed funding approach, argued against five criteria
  • Marketing and engagementA content mix a two-person team can actually sustain
  • Digital presenceLead with the product, treat the mission as the add-on

Experience is wanted here. The usual path is one cycle as a Consultant, then stepping up to Team Leader the next.
