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

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
