We’ve Been The External Co-founder For 40+ Brands…🙋🏻♂️
We’re all familiar with the terms ‘Founder’ and ‘Co-founder’ but what is an ‘External Co-founder?’
We coined this term and here’s what it means:
‘An External Co-founder is someone who holds no equity or stake in your company but still acts as any other Co-founder would.’
Yes, we at D2P Consultancy, do not identify ourselves as mere consultants for your F&B business and instead like to think of ourselves as External Co-founders.
Now, this is not some wordplay to make us sound fancy, we actually mean the seriousness behind this term, and here’s why:
✅ 1. We think of your business as our own, so your problems, wins, challenges, and losses, all become OURS.
✅ 2. We work with you and your team on a personal level as well as mentor and prepare you to face all kinds of business challenges with confidence.
✅ 3. We’re highly involved in every stage of your business’s growth journey and help you increase your bandwidth by 30%.
✅ 4. We specialize in thorough business/brand audits given our team’s collective expertise of 40+ years in the F&B space, allowing you to cut through the clutter and have a razor-sharp focus on your business.
✅ 5. Mastering the art of pivots, we are relevant in your journey of 0 to 300 Cr and would rightly recommend macro / micro decisions with justified logic.
✅ 6. Literally, move execution-led needles across different departments (we internally dislike the word ‘strategy’ now)
✅7. Playing alongside your strengths & weaknesses; all the project planning & execution is done keeping your SWOT as a pivotal focus.
Hope this explains what we do and why we call ourselves ‘External Co-founders’.
