Nigel Grier is a first-generation business consultant, ecopreneur, and startup advisor whose expertise ensures early-stage companies gain traction, turn ambitious ideas into successful and sustainable businesses. At the helm of his firm, Grier & Associates, Nigel provides an unholy trifecta of sustainability consulting, active startup mentorship, and capital raising: the juicy combination that gives founders the ability to succeed, do it responsibly, and do it strategically.
Based on the solid foundation of ecological and engineering experience as well as a profound understanding of environmental science, Nigel is sure that sustainability is not an addition to make a company more competitive, but a competitive edge in itself. He aids start-ups to adopt ESG, develop circular economy models, lead lifecycle assessments, and incorporate zero-waste operations-profitability that is aligned with planet-positive impacts.

Unlike most consultants, Nigel is an active mentor: he is the sounding board, mentor, or unpaid interim co‑founder; he helps startups build and iterate their business models, develop a minimum viable product, determine how and when to launch, and secure regulatory approval. He is a builder of resilience and a de‑risker of early-stage growth.

Nigel also helps with due diligence, creating a pitch deck, financial modeling, laying the groundwork for investor matchmaking, and pitch preparation on the fundraising front. He connects angels, VCs, family offices, and impact funders across the Asian-Pacific and in Europe--unlocking investment opportunities into real capital.

Nigel has cross-border experience with an international perspective in the local markets. When you work with him, you decide in favor of vision, integrity, and strategic impact. His consultancy is the right driver towards the long-term success of founders who are driven to create businesses that do good.
