Revenue model

1. Consulting project fees: C&C generates revenue through consulting project fees charged to clients (companies from startups to global players). The revenues are reinvested into the development of the association. The organization operates on a not-for-profit basis, with project fees funding member training, workshops, and organizational activities.
2. Pro-bono projects: Some projects are conducted on a pro-bono basis, particularly during trainee phases, allowing members to gain practical experience while providing value to clients. Revenue is not generated from these projects but serves as training opportunities.

Direct peers

• 180 Degrees Consulting: Global non-profit student-led management consulting organization founded at Stanford, active across multiple continents. Closest direct peer in terms of mission, model (university-embedded student consultants), and pro-bono/sponsored engagement approach.
• 4C Group Aachen e.V. BDSU-certified student consultancy at RWTH Aachen offering strategy, marketing, and process consulting to corporate clients. Highly comparable in structure, certification status, and core service mix to C&C.
• SMART consulting e.V. Another BDSU member student consulting firm with a comparable non-profit model, multi-university membership, and consulting project portfolio. Directly comparable in operating mechanics and client segments.
• START Munich e.V. BDSU member student consulting firm based in Munich at TUM and LMU. Operates the same junior enterprise model as C&C — student project teams, non-profit structure, German Mittelstand clients — and competes for the same BDSU referral flow.

Broad incumbents

• Roland Berger: European-headquartered management consultancy with strong presence in Germany. Comparable to C&C in offering strategic and operational consulting, but operates at the senior/experienced consultant level rather than student-led delivery.
• KPMG Germany: Big Four consultancy and named C&C flagship partner. Comparable in delivering management consulting, but at a different scale and with senior practitioners; C&C functions as a feeder talent pool and workshop host for KPMG.
• Deloitte Germany: Big Four professional services firm providing management consulting, audit, and advisory services. Functions as a broad incumbent in the same consulting category that C&C enters at the entry-level, student-led segment.
• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting leader and ultimate career destination for top BDSU talent. Functions as a broad incumbent reference point for the same management consulting services C&C offers, but at vastly larger scale and different price point.
• Accenture (Germany): Global management and technology consultancy and a named C&C workshop partner. Comparable in offering transformation and digital strategy consulting; C&C workshops (including the recent AI/prompting session) mirror Accenture's training approach.

Emerging players

• NordNord: Hamburg-based management consulting firm (~50 employees) that hosted a Change Management workshop for C&C members. Comparable in regional Northern German focus and Change Management specialization, but at a more established commercial scale.
