ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
haveconsult was founded by Nick Brown an entrepreneur and industry advisor with over 15 years of experience across the cycling, mobility and micromobility sectors.
Nick began his career in law before moving into entrepreneurship, founding and building businesses within the cycling industry and later scaling operational businesses within the shared mobility sector.
Through these roles he has gained first-hand experience of the challenges founders and growing businesses face — from launching new ventures and securing clients to building teams, scaling operations and navigating complex markets.
Alongside his commercial work, Nick has played an active role in shaping the development of the cycling and shared mobility industries at a policy level. He serves on the board of European Cycling Industries and contributes to industry working groups focused on bike share, leasing and sustainable transport policy.
This combination of entrepreneurial, operational and policy experience allows haveconsult to bring a uniquely practical perspective to strategic advisory work.
ABOUT HAVECONSULT
Our Story
haveconsult was founded to provide practical strategic advice to founders, start-ups and growing SMEs.
Too often, business advice comes from people who have spent their careers advising rather than building businesses themselves. Our approach is different. Our advisers have built companies, grown teams and navigated the real challenges of running and scaling businesses.
We work with founders, entrepreneurial teams and growing companies seeking clear strategy, stronger commercial performance and sustainable growth.
Alongside our general advisory work, we bring deep sector expertise in mobility, cycling and emerging sustainable transport technologies, supporting operators, investors and organisations navigating change in these rapidly evolving markets.
Our Approach
We combine strategic thinking with real business experience.
Our advisers have worked across multiple parts of industry — from operations and service delivery to commercial strategy, market development and industry policy. This breadth of experience allows us to bring a practical, grounded perspective to every engagement.
We focus on helping founders, start-ups and growing SMEs:
• understand complex and changing markets
• identify new opportunities for growth
• develop clear and effective strategies
• build strong partnerships and commercial relationships
Above all, our focus is always on practical outcomes — turning strategic ideas into actions that help businesses grow.
Our Network
We believe the strongest ideas and opportunities emerge from collaboration and strong professional networks.
Alongside our relationships across industry and mobility sectors, we work closely with a network of entrepreneurs and business leaders through the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses programme.
This network connects us with experienced founders and growing businesses across a wide range of industries, providing our clients with access to a broader ecosystem of expertise, partnerships and supply chain opportunities.
