FOR TECH FOUNDERS AT €1M–€5M REVENUE
Years Building and Advising Businesses
Plan 9 is led by Ollie Walsh, a 30+ year entrepreneur who co-founded and scaled Pipit Global into a payments network spanning 45+ countries before its acquisition by Qenta in 2025. He now applies that experience to a small number of impact technology founders working through their next stage of growth.
We focus on the three areas that most often determine whether an impact technology company can reach its next level.
01
Find Where The Next Stage of Growth Should Come From
We examine markets, customers, commercial models, resources and strategic priorities to determine where the business should place its bets.
02
Create a Clearer Route From Opportunity To Revenue.
We sharpen your ICP, positioning, proposition and route to market so the right customers understand why they should choose you.
03
Make Existing Investment Work Harder.
We analyse channels, messaging, conversion and allocation to identify where customer acquisition can become more effective.
Every engagement starts by understanding the business in depth. We only progress when we believe there is a meaningful opportunity to create additional growth.
Understand the business before prescribing the answer.
A full-day strategic session with the founders and leadership team to identify where growth is being lost or overlooked.
€5,000
Turn the opportunity into a focused plan.
Where Discovery identifies a significant opportunity, we build the strategy required to capture it by defining what to prioritise, what to change and where resources should be concentrated.
From €15,000
Turn strategy into commercial action.
Where there is a strong ongoing fit, Plan 9 works alongside the business to execute, test, measure and refine the strategy.
From €5,000 a month
Discovery has standalone value.
There is no obligation to continue and Plan 9 only progresses where we believe there is a strong enough opportunity.
Plan 9 works with a small number of ambitious impact technology companies, typically at €1M–€5M revenue, that already have proven traction but need greater clarity on where the next stage of growth should come from.
We look for businesses with the ambition, resources and leadership commitment to act on the right strategy.
We only take on companies where we believe we can make a material difference.
If we don’t believe the opportunity is strong enough, or that Plan 9 is the right partner, we’ll say so.
Client Perspective
"Working with Ollie has been of immense value to our company.
It’s rare to find an advisor who is both highly visionary and extremely practical, but Ollie brings unparalleled structure and insight.
Even as a forward-thinking business, we constantly rely on his exceptional strategic guidance to navigate complexities and scale. His input has allowed us to grow significantly further and faster than we ever could have without him. I highly recommend him to any company looking for serious strategic direction."
"Ollie is one of the very few people I trust with my clients. He’s helped CEOs all over the world implement strategy and step up as leaders, and then he holds them to it. I don’t put just anyone in front of my clients. I put Ollie.
These are entrepreneurs who’ve built a strong business but have become the bottleneck in it or stuck in some other way. Ollie gets them thinking strategically again. They get clear on where they’re going, what matters, and what they need to let go of. Then he makes sure they get the right stuff done. Don’t hire Ollie unless you’re looking for some straight talking. Strategy is easy to talk about. Ollie gets leaders to act on it."
