STUNT

What STUNT does

STUNT e.V. is a registered nonprofit student consulting association (eingetragener Verein) headquartered at Universitätsstraße 25 in Bielefeld, Germany. Founded in October 2000 by 13 members, it has grown to 40+ active student members drawn from Universität Bielefeld and FH Bielefeld across business administration, law, economics, mathematics, psychology, sociology, computer science, and engineering. STUNT describes itself as the largest student consulting firm in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) region, delivering project-based consulting to mid-sized and large regional companies through interdisciplinary student teams under professional supervision.

The organization offers five core consulting services: Human Resources Beratung (talent acquisition strategies, personnel development, motivation/career systems), Studien und Befragungen (customer satisfaction surveys, employee surveys, custom research), Markt- und Wettbewerbsanalysen (strategic market and competitive analysis, business plan development), Prozessmanagement (digitalization, process optimization, workflow documentation), and Social Media Beratung (posting strategies, employer branding, lead generation). Project fees are priced below the German consulting industry average while maintaining high quality standards, and the GTM motion is sales-led and regional: companies contact STUNT via website, email, or phone for project inquiries, followed by scoping, team assembly, and proposal. Public pricing is not disclosed. Named clients include HELLA, Arvato/Bertelsmann, itelligence, Wilhelm Böllhoff, MöllerGroup, Hettich, and ROOS IT.

STUNT operates under a nonprofit model with no external funding rounds, no parent company, and no venture backing. Governance is via an elected Vorstand (Lea Kryzecki — Sales & Marketing; Jennifer/Jenny Welke — Processes & Organisation per source variation; Nico Schweble and Marco Oberhaus as legal representatives) supported by a Kuratorium advisory board. Revenue is supplemented by strategic partnerships with CLAAS, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Fuchs Gruppe, Interrogare, and Ramboll Acondas, and the association sits within three layered networks: BDSU (34 German student consulting firms, ISO 9001 audited), JE-Europe (380+ firms, 14 countries), and CN NRW (9 regional firms), plus the Pioneers Club talent hub. As a student-staffed nonprofit, STUNT's underlying technology is the consulting delivery model itself — interdisciplinary project teams leveraging latest academic research — rather than proprietary software or AI systems.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• ADCONSULT e.V. Student-run management consultancy at RWTH Aachen, also under the BDSU umbrella. Directly comparable in structure, service offering (strategy, HR, market research), nonprofit status, and target client base of regional mid-sized German firms.
• Phase17 GmbH: Stuttgart-based student consultancy originally founded under the BDSU model. Closely comparable as a German student consulting firm offering similar interdisciplinary project work to regional corporate clients.
• BISS e.V. Berlin: Berlin-based student consulting initiative within the BDSU network. Mirrors STUNT's operating model — interdisciplinary student teams delivering consulting projects to enterprise clients — but operates in a different German metropolitan region.

Broad incumbents

• Roland Berger: Largest German-origin strategy consulting firm. Operates in the same management consulting space as STUNT but serves Fortune 500 and large-cap clients; useful comparable for understanding the premium end of the market STUNT's graduates often feed into.
• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting leader and an aspirational destination employer for STUNT alumni. Overlaps with STUNT's general management consulting category but at vastly different scale, client size, and price point.
• The Boston Consulting Group: Global strategy consulting firm. Comparable in the management consulting category and as a top-of-funnel employer for STUNT graduates, though BCG serves multinational clients and charges premium fees.
• Bain & Company: Global management consulting firm with strong German presence. Operates in the same strategy consulting category and recruits heavily from German university talent — including from student consulting pipelines like STUNT.
• PwC Deutschland: Big Four professional services firm in Germany. STUNT's core strategic partner and also a broader market incumbent offering overlapping advisory and HR consulting services to German enterprises.

Emerging players

• Interrogare GmbH: German market research institute (Bielefeld/Hamburg/Düsseldorf) and STUNT partner. Overlaps with STUNT's market and competitive analysis service line and is the most likely alternative for clients seeking more dedicated research capacity.
• Ramboll Acondas: Strategy implementation consultancy in German-speaking markets (Düsseldorf/Berlin/Hamburg/Munich) and STUNT partner. Competes with STUNT on process management and implementation projects but at a more senior practitioner level.
