Premium consultancy for large enterprises and scaleups
Spain · Portugal · LATAM

Not consultants.
We are founders.

We help large enterprises and scaleups to transform, adapt and grow. We use AI as a lever on every project.
01
Who we are

We are founders. In Spain, we built one of the country's most significant tech startups. We have grown teams of hundreds of people. Digitalised operations. Structured sales, product and technology teams.

And in LATAM, part of the team has founded and scaled some of the most important technology companies in the region.

And we know from the inside how the bureaucracy of a large corporation really works.

We have implemented AI inside companies. Not as a concept, but as an operational lever: process automation, more efficient teams, reduced costs, entire areas restructured.

AI is not the goal. It's the lever. To use it well, you need to understand the business first.

How we think about AI

AI is not a tool you add to your company
It's the operating system of your company.

The true transformation from AI isn't productivity gains. It's redesigning the structure of the company. In these articles we write about how we see it, what's happening inside companies, and what to do about it.

02
How we work

Two steps. The second one, optional.

01
The Immersion
We sit down with leadership. We talk to people. We focus on the problem to solve. We understand the business, the constraints, and start looking for ideas and solutions. We also look at what you already have underneath — code, systems, vendors, data — because without understanding the technical foundation you can't build anything on top of it. Then we go inside the company — the whole thing, or just the area that needs it — and do a deep dive.

Duration: 4 to 6 weeks, depending on scope. At the end we deliver the CEO Memo: a written document, founder to founder (no bullshit), without consultant language. No slides. No appendices. What we'd do ourselves if we were sitting in your chair.
The deliverable
The CEO Memo.
A written document, not a recycled PowerPoint. Designed to read and act on. What we'd do, and how we'd do it.
What it includes
Honest diagnosis. Clear priorities. Concrete recommendations. Decisions you can make when you close it. The plan for the next 90 days.
What it doesn't include
Decorative slides. Made-up frameworks. Generic benchmarks. Consultant language. Disclaimers.
02
The engagement
If you decide to continue, we stay. We can bring resources inside your company, work alongside your team, execute with our developers, or all three.

Every company is different. We don't sell fixed packages. We design the engagement based on what your company actually needs for the plan to work.
03
Where we can help

Strategy, execution and transformation in the areas that move the needle today.

01
Define and implement your AI strategy

Most companies are piloting AI without a plan. A ChatGPT licence here, a pilot project there, someone on the team "experimenting" — and a year later, no real impact on the business.

At Nalum we design the full strategy with you: where to apply AI first (and where not to), which processes to transform in the next 90 days, what we leave for later, and how to do it without opening up risks in security, compliance or data protection.

Outcome An executable plan, ordered priorities, and the next 90 days defined.
02
Restructure teams and departments with AI

Large companies still operate with structures designed 10 or 15 years ago. With AI applied properly, there are teams that can produce twice as much while being smaller — but few executives know where to start when it comes to identifying what's fat and what's real muscle.

At Nalum we step into your organisation to do that diagnosis honestly. We analyse teams, departments and processes one by one, identify which activities can be automated or amplified with AI, and design the new structure with you.

Outcome A clear map of where to cut, where to reinforce, and how to make the transition without breaking operations.
03
Develop and launch new business lines

You have an idea, an intuition, or a clear market opportunity — but getting it through the company's machinery is another story. Internal processes, day-to-day priorities and committees mean many initiatives die before they ever reach customers.

At Nalum we sit with you from the concept stage. We help shape the idea, validate it, plan the launch and execute — the full chain, or just the stretch where help is most needed. Brainstorming with your team, business model definition, operational planning and go-to-market.

Outcome A new product or service running in the market, not a PowerPoint stored in a folder.
04
Build a data-driven culture

In most companies, every department has its own reports, its own version of the truth, and a saturated BI team building dashboards no one reads. Leadership makes decisions based on outdated Excel files or gut feeling.

At Nalum we identify with you the data that actually matters — by department and at leadership level — and design a system so that information reaches the right person every day, without friction. With AI, you no longer need an army of analysts: there are far more efficient ways to organise company data, automate reports and give real visibility to every team.

Outcome Daily dashboards running, decisions taken with data, and a leadership team that knows what's happening in the company without having to ask.
05
Implement product culture and methodology

In most large companies, product decisions are made through committees, intuition and crossed priorities between departments that barely speak to each other. The result: slow launches, products that don't respond to the customer, and teams burnt out from iterating without direction.

At Nalum we install product culture inside your company. We design the working model, train teams in methodologies that actually work, and connect business, technology and design so decisions are made with data and speed. It works in tech companies and, when done right, also in those that aren't.

Outcome Operational product teams, shorter decision cycles, and a shared way of building across all departments.
06
Customer experience and customer loyalty

Most companies say they are customer-centric, but in practice decisions are made on intuition, annual surveys nobody reads, or isolated feedback from whichever salesperson happens to be in the room. The result: products that don't quite fit, customers who leave without you knowing why, and a constant feeling of reacting instead of anticipating.

At Nalum we help you truly understand your customers — based on real data, not opinions. We design the system with you to listen continuously, identify what customers think of your product and service, and translate that into concrete initiatives: service improvements, more relevant communication, loyalty programmes that actually build loyalty. Customer satisfaction isn't a goal: it's the consequence of making better decisions with the right information.

Outcome A living system of customer listening, concrete initiatives in motion, and product and service decisions backed by real data.
07
Build and scale B2B and B2C sales teams

Many companies have sales teams running on inertia. Manual processes, half-implemented tools, salespeople losing hours a day to admin instead of selling, and leadership without real visibility on what's happening in the funnel.

At Nalum we analyse your current commercial structure, identify where the leaks are and where the untapped potential lives — and we redesign the sales engine. We build new teams when needed, implement the best tools on the market, automate repetitive processes, and build real-time dashboards so both leadership and the salespeople themselves have the data they need to sell more.

Outcome A more productive sales team, automated processes, and full visibility of the business at every stage of the funnel.
08
Marketing and data-driven digital acquisition

Many companies still invest in marketing without knowing which euros are working and which are wasted. Campaigns launched out of inertia, agencies reporting vanity metrics, badly built funnels leaving money on the table, and a CAC that goes up every year without anyone really knowing why.

At Nalum we design the full digital acquisition strategy: campaign definition, ad structure, funnel construction and end-to-end optimisation. All based on real data and connected to the best tools on the market so every euro invested can be traced to the final conversion, and ratios improve month after month.

Outcome Active campaigns, working funnels, and a CAC that goes down while conversion goes up.
09
Transition into a more tech-enabled culture

Many companies whose core isn't technology live trapped: every change to the website, every new integration, every idea that requires development depends on an external agency. Timelines stretch, costs spiral, and the company loses control over something that's increasingly strategic.

At Nalum we help you build internal tech capability without having to set up an enormous department. We define what to bring in-house and what not to, hire the key profiles, implement the right tools, and train the team so the company gains speed without inflating costs. Neither full dependence on third parties, nor a bloated IT department — the right balance.

Outcome Real technical autonomy, faster development cycles, and costs under control.
10
Due diligence on startups and tech companies

When a company or fund is evaluating an investment in or acquisition of a startup, traditional due diligence often stays on the surface: numbers, contracts and compliance — but they don't know how to read the product, the real technical debt, the health of the team, or whether the business model actually scales the way they say.

At Nalum we step into the startup as we would if we were going to buy it ourselves. We analyse the model, the data, the technology, the team and the real growth potential. We give you an honest verdict on where the strengths are, the hidden risks, and what you'd need to do post-acquisition for the investment to work. It's not auditor due diligence: it's the perspective of people who have built and sold tech companies.

Outcome A clear analysis of whether the deal makes sense, at what price, and what you'll find the day after closing it.
11
Open innovation and startup partnerships

Large companies know that startups can be an innovation engine, but the relationship rarely works. Endless procurement processes, misaligned expectations, pilots that die in a drawer, and startups that end up frustrated working with corporates that don't understand how they operate.

At Nalum we bridge the two worlds. We identify what opportunities your company has, find the startups that can actually add value, and design partnerships that work for both sides — with clear rules, realistic timelines and measurable goals. We know both sides of the bridge because we've been on both.

Outcome Active relationships with startups that move the needle, not MOUs in a folder.
