Harbour Strategy Consulting
An independent strategic advisory working with complex,
high-stakes decisions where structure, risk, and long-term
clarity matter more than speed or presentation.
We support founders, investors, and leadership teams operating
in environments shaped by uncertainty, capital pressure, and
irreversible strategic choices.
Engagements are selective and framework-driven. Our focus is on disciplined thinking, scenario analysis, and execution-aware strategy — not template solutions or surface-level optimisation.
Approach
Our work is grounded in first-principles thinking and structured
decomposition of complex problems.
Decisions are analysed from logic backwards — mapping
assumptions, constraints, risks, and second-order effects
before recommendations are formed.
This ensures strategic clarity that remains valid not only
under expected conditions, but also when assumptions fail
and environments shift.

Cases (hypothetical)
Capital allocation under regulatory uncertainty
A founder-led business assessing a multi-year capital commitment amid regulatory ambiguity. Focus placed on scenario dominance, downside asymmetry, and decision reversibility rather than headline ROI.
Strategic pivot with irreversible cost structure
A leadership team evaluating a pivot that introduces long-term fixed costs. Analysis centres on second-order effects, exit optionality, and alignment between strategy and execution capacity.
Investor positioning ahead of a liquidity event
An investor preparing for a liquidity event in a volatile market. Work prioritises downside protection, timing asymmetry, and capital redeployment logic over valuation optimisation alone.
