For Professionals
Work that fits your expertise — and your schedule.
Take selective, fixed-fee engagements of 10 hours or less — well-scoped before you say yes.
Clear scopes. Defined deliverables. No open-ended commitments.
The problem
A better way to contribute selectively.
Freelance projects run open-ended. Staffing roles are too big. Generic marketplaces feel price-driven. Consulten is building the platform for a new category — micro-consulting — where focused work carries clear expectations up front.
Not more work at any cost — the right work, in the right size, with the right expectations.
Who this is for
Whether you’re working full-time or setting your own pace.
Some of the professionals joining are senior operators interested in fitting select projects around a full-time role — work that’s structured and bounded enough to stay clear of any employer conflict. Others have stepped back from full-time work and want meaningful, focused projects on their own schedule, without going back to open-ended commitments.
Consulten is built for both.
What we offer

Human + AI
Human-driven. AI-enabled.
What clients are buying is your expertise — your context, your analysis, your accountability for the result. AI works underneath that, handling the overhead that makes small engagements viable: scoping, matching, drafting support, closeout checks. The effect is that nearly all of your time goes into the work itself, not the admin around it.
Standards
Small scope. High standards.
Short doesn’t mean casual. Every engagement expects clear thinking, strong communication, and professional-quality work — and defined scope plus closeout protect both sides. That’s the line between micro-consulting and gig work.
The Founding Professional Program
Founding Professionals get more than early access.
Joining the founding group carries real, lasting advantages — on every engagement you take, on your profile, and in what the platform becomes.
Space is limited to our first 75 founding professionals
Founding Professional
A designation that travels with you
The Founding Professional mark appears on your profile and on your engagement cards — signalling to clients that you helped establish the standard.

Platform fee, not our standard rate
A reduced 10% platform fee applies across your first 20 engagements — you keep more of every fixed fee you earn.
$2,500¹
Milestone payment eligibility
You may be eligible for a one-time $2,500 payment tied to a liquidity event.
¹ A liquidity event includes a material capital raise or sale of the company. The $2,500 milestone payment is contingent on the occurrence of a qualifying liquidity event and on maintaining an active Founding Professional designation at that time. Full details of the Founding Professional Program — including eligibility, selection criteria, maintenance requirements, and the specific definitions and conditions governing the milestone payment — will be furnished upon a valid request by a vetted potential participating professional.
