Yes. Our community consists of professionals from leading strategy consultancies, private equity firms, investment banks, and M&A boutiques. Every Sweaver has at least four years of experience, has consistently performed at a high level, and has been promoted at their previous firm. Most have between 4 and 16 years of experience.

While there are definitely use cases where a consulting firm would be more fitting, Sweav focuses on projects where a regular consulting team would be overkill (at least in terms of costs). Projects that don’t need a partner, manager and full-time team of associates, but just need one experienced professional to drive progress. With Sweav, you’ll get the same top-tier talent, but in a more flexible, pragmatic, and affordable way.

Our Sweavers are selected for their ability to work independently and deliver immediate impact. They become part of your team, take ownership, and execute instead of just advising. Every member is personally interviewed to ensure they are hands-on, pragmatic, entrepreneurial, and execution driven. Think about fewer PowerPoint slides, more results.

Every project has a day-rate range. Freelancers apply with their own fixed day rate within that range, based on their experience and expertise. Once selected, that rate is fixed for the duration of the project. Sweav charges a transparent platform fee on top of the freelancer’s rate. There is no search fee or retention fee — you’ll only start paying once you have selected a fitting freelancer and the work has started.

We keep client names confidential during the application process to protect our clients’ strategic initiatives and ensure discretion. Once there is mutual interest, we share all relevant company information with the selected candidates.

We primarily work with private equity firms and their portfolio companies, and strategy teams within corporates & mid-market companies across a wide range of industries.
