Business support for startups.

Giving back and working together for your success.

Who we are

A group of business professionals with many years of experience, a variety of skills and a wide network of contacts - which we enjoy sharing with enthusiastic and energetic entrepreneurs.


We formed Tancred Strix with a shared vision to give something back, helping founders and early stage teams succeed. Our philosophy is to be your one-stop-shop for advice and multidisciplinary support; it's like getting an instant board of advisors.


If you have a good business idea, we may be able to help you develop and grow it.

How we work

Early in a startup journey, you need great, real-time advice to avoid losing your money, time and chances of success. But that's typically expensive, and free advice is often just someone's opinion - everyone has one.   


We offer expert advice at substantially reduced fees - part of our mission to give back. We may start with a completely pro-bono period, after which we'll tailor our fee structures to what makes sense for your needs, typically a modest monthly amount and a success fee.


We'll share an NDA and our terms of service after we start talking. Client exchanges are always confidential.

Starting a business can be hard
We give you practical, experienced advice
