SkillMix's Story

It started in late 2024 in a lecture hall: PowerPoint slides, recycled frameworks, and a sense that the game was rigged. We were sharp students, watching companies pay millions for advice they already knew. And we thought: why is this normal?

So we did it differently.

SkillMix launched at Erasmus University when a small group of students took on a real consulting project. No suits, no buzzwords, just smart people solving real problems. We showed them what fresh minds can do when they’re trusted to build.

Now we’re a new kind of consultancy.
We don’t charge €250K for strategy decks.
We don’t repurpose playbooks from 1998.

While the Big Four give you slides, we give you AI models, prototypes, pipelines, and ideas that actually move the needle.
