# Haco Consulting

Haco Consulting, based in Edinburgh, is a growth and operations consultancy founded by Ian, who brings extensive experience from Europe's fastest-growing tech companies across Fintech, AV and Martech sectors. The firm specialises in working with ambitious startups and scaleups that are disrupting established industries or creating entirely new markets.

Rather than offering generic consulting, Haco takes a deeply tailored approach to each engagement. Ian works directly with founders and leadership teams to identify bespoke solutions aligned to their specific challenges and commercial objectives. The consultancy operates on project-based fees, establishing clear KPIs and timeframes upfront to ensure measurable ROI.

Haco's expertise spans three core pillars: accelerating growth through strategic partnerships, PR campaigns and community building; enhancing client retention through documented best practices and scalable onboarding processes; and developing high-performing cultures where teams take genuine ownership.

What sets Haco apart is the founder's credible background within scaling tech businesses, combined with a genuine passion for learning about innovative companies. Rather than applying cookie-cutter frameworks, Ian brings practical, battle-tested knowledge from his time at multiple high-growth firms. This positions Haco as a strategic partner rather than a transactional consultant, particularly valuable for startups seeking experienced guidance without the overhead of traditional consulting retainers.
