Hello!
I'm Sara Filipcic

I help mission-driven ventures secure institutional partnerships, funding pathways, and strategic credibility.Institutional strategy, early monetisation, and positioning for teams navigating growth and complex ecosystems.


Institutional Partnerships & Strategic Access

I help teams design and execute an institutional partnership strategy with organizations such as UN agencies, foundations, ministries, and global platforms.What we do
- Clarify how your work fits institutional priorities
- Design the right partnership structure (pilot, program, research, sponsorship)
- Identify relevant institutions and stakeholders
- Prepare credible partnership materials and outreach
- Support execution and next-step conversion
Outcome
Clear positioning, fewer dead-end conversations, and increased institutional credibility.


Users, Product & Fast Monetisation

I help founders clarify their target audience, shape their product, and identify a realistic first path to monetisation.What we do
- Define who you’re really building for
- Pressure-test product ideas and offers
- Identify fast, credible revenue paths
