For founders with a proven B2B methodology

Your expertise works. Build the network that can carry it forward.

You have already proven how to create valuable results for clients.

The next challenge is turning what you know into a business that experienced operators can learn, deliver, and grow through independent advisory practices of their own.

Thirty Five helps founders build the operating model behind independent advisor networks.

Your expertise should not stop where your personal capacity ends.

The opportunity · capable advisors carrying a shared method

You may be closer than you think

You have already built the hardest part: something that works.

Clients trust your judgment. Your consulting process creates repeatable results. You have developed tools, assessments, language, or methods that make your work different.

Other experienced professionals may already be asking how they can learn it, use it, or bring it to their clients.

You can see the possibility of an advisor network. But the business required to make those advisors successful does not exist yet.

Who this is for

Which business model looks most like yours?

These businesses sell through people rather than factories, inventory, or software. Their expertise may look different in the market, but each depends on people carrying knowledge into consistent execution.

The Practice Builder

Professionals who have built a successful expertise-based practice.

Often known as: Business, management, marketing, IT, and other specialized consultants; accounting and law firms; architecture and engineering firms.

Current reality: The practice is successful and clients want more access to its senior experts. Revenue depends on partner hours, critical knowledge lives inside a few people, new hires take months to become effective, and the founder or senior partners review nearly everything.

The Service Firm

Businesses that deliver recurring or repeatable services through employees.

Often known as: Managed service providers, home-service companies, creative and digital agencies, professional and financial services firms, commercial contractors, and healthcare service organizations.

Current reality: Growth brings more hiring, training, managers, and complexity. Quality varies depending on who performs the work, while exceptions and difficult decisions continue to return to the founder or a few key leaders.

The Knowledge Company

Businesses whose primary product is expertise, education, or intellectual property.

Often known as: Coaches, course creators, membership communities, certification companies, training organizations, executive-education providers, thought leaders, speakers, and authors.

Current reality: The company has extensive content and valuable knowledge, but delivery still depends on the founder personally teaching, coaching, creating, answering questions, and motivating customers.

The Distributed Network

Organizations that grow through independent people and partner businesses rather than only through company employees.

Often known as: Franchises, franchise-like businesses, dealer networks, independent advisors and agents, affiliate organizations, channel partners, authorized installers, reseller networks, and direct-selling organizations.

Current reality: The central challenge is multiplication: helping many independent people onboard, learn, stay aligned, become productive, represent the company consistently, reinforce the right behaviors, and maintain quality across the network.

The methodology is the seed.
The advisor network is the business.

The missing business

Your life's work should become more than an online course library.

Independent advisors need more than access to your intellectual property. They need a credible business opportunity, a path to market, delivery confidence, continuing value, useful technology, and a network designed to make them more capable over time.

The Method Still Lives in You

Your documents may explain the process, but the judgment behind the process still depends on your experience.

The Advisor Opportunity Is Unclear

You have not fully defined who should join, what they will sell, how they will earn, or why building around your methodology is better than going alone.

Training Does Not Create Traction

An advisor can complete every lesson and still have no positioning, pipeline, first client, or confidence.

Quality Could Dilute the Brand

The more advisors who deliver the method, the more variation can enter the client experience.

Support Could Route Back Through You

If every sales question, delivery exception, and difficult client comes back to you, the network has multiplied pressure instead of capability.

The Technology Is Fragmented

Content, CRM, community, templates, certification, reporting, and support often live in disconnected tools.

You deserve to build this next chapter with intention. Expand your reach, grow recurring revenue, and create an impact that lasts beyond you.

The strategic shift

Stop building a consulting practice around your expertise. Start building a company around its transferability.

Founder-Led Consulting Practice

  • The founder sells most engagements.
  • The founder delivers the highest-value work.
  • Clients buy personal access.
  • Knowledge lives in experience.
  • Growth requires more founder time.
  • Revenue depends on consulting delivery.
  • The founder remains the primary asset.

Independent Advisor Network Company

  • Advisors can create qualified demand.
  • Prepared advisors deliver a defined methodology.
  • Clients trust the method and the advisor.
  • Judgment is captured in tools and decision systems.
  • Growth increases network capability.
  • Revenue includes recurring advisor-network value.
  • The methodology, platform, data, and network become assets.

The goal is not to make advisors identical. It is to give experienced operators a shared method, a strong business model, and the support required to apply their judgment consistently.

Where you are now

Start with the network you have—and build what it needs next.

Independent advisors are experienced executives, consultants, and operators who build advisory practices around a shared methodology.

Network Creator

You have zero to approximately five advisors and need to design the network before recruiting at scale.

Network Scaler

You have approximately five to 100 advisors, but onboarding, practice launch, quality, technology, support, economics, or measurement is not yet scalable.

  • ProvenYou have repeatedly produced a valuable B2B client outcome.
  • TransferableYour work includes a methodology, framework, assessment, or reusable intellectual property.
  • CredibleExperienced operators could learn to deliver the consulting work responsibly.
  • CommittedYou want advisors to become successful and are willing to standardize, measure, and invest.
Thirty Five is not designed to validate an unproven consulting idea. It helps proven expertise become a business other experienced professionals can carry forward.
