Saul Rans

Director, The Strategy Builders

Saul Rans is a Director of The Strategy Builders, a boutique London-based advisory firm serving startups and small businesses. He founded the firm with his business partner earlier in 2023.
Previously, Saul spent 25 years in equity research analysing small, mid and large companies across multiple sectors, most recently at Morgan Stanley. He is also a Chartered Accountant and a graduate of Cambridge University.
The Strategy Builders provides advice across four pillars: business strategy, marketing strategy, financial control systems and productivity tools.
The firm aims to distinguish itself from other advisory firms in three ways: (1) Holistic: we build an all-round understanding of your business and your goals before designing advice (2) Listening: we listen to your needs and aspirations rather than imposing our own opinions (3) Bespoke: we provide advice tailored to your business – we never push copy-and-paste solutions.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
