The Alhaven Group

What The Alhaven Group does

The Alhaven Group LLP (TAG) is a privately-held diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consulting firm founded in 2020 by Dr. Kai Dupé and Dr. Mateen A. Diop. The company delivers customized DEI workshops, consulting, and coaching services to three primary customer segments: corporate/enterprise organizations, educational institutions and school districts, and venture capital firms. Its core product is a portfolio of workshop modules covering anti-racism culture, allyship, implicit bias recognition, and tech-hiring bias, with sector-specific offerings in education, VC, high-level corporate leadership, and tech recruitment. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm is a human-delivered professional services practice that relies on the founders' doctoral-level credentials, 30+ years of combined DEI experience, and personal lived experience as the primary value proposition.

The company's business model is fee-for-service professional services with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers, suggesting quote-based and engagement-specific pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct outreach, speaking engagements at conferences such as SXSW Edu, and referrals from existing clients. Marketing channels include the company website, speaking appearances, client testimonials, and a primary contact email. The firm holds NMSDC Certified Minority Business Enterprise status (2023), which qualifies it for corporate supplier diversity procurement. Customer logos span a diverse set of large enterprises including American Airlines, Boeing, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Roche, and Marathon Oil, alongside higher education and nonprofit clients such as Pepperdine University, Valencia Community College, and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

The Alhaven Group is structured as a limited liability partnership and, per its Terms of Service, is governed by Netherlands law, despite operating primarily in the U.S. market. The firm has not raised external funding, operates with a team of fewer than 10 people (with two co-founders as the named Managing Partners), and has no disclosed revenue. The business is concentrated in the personal delivery capacity of its two founders, and there is no evidence of associate consultants, recurring retainer contracts, or productized digital offerings at this time.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte (DEI / Human Capital practice): Big Four professional services firm with substantial DEI transformation, inclusion strategy, and workforce training capabilities. Comparable in delivering enterprise DEI programs, but at vastly greater scale, geographic reach, and breadth of services.
• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): Large, established leadership-development and inclusion research institution. Comparable in delivering executive leadership training and DEI programs, but operates at materially greater scale and with deeper research resources.
• McKinsey (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion practice): Global management consultancy with a dedicated DEI practice advising large organizations on inclusion strategy and culture. Comparable in serving enterprise DEI mandates, though with a strategy-led rather than workshop-led delivery model.
• Korn Ferry (DEI practice): Global organizational consulting firm with a dedicated DEI and inclusion practice. Overlaps with Alhaven on DEI advisory, leadership development, and culture change, but as one offering within a much broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• Paradigm Strategy: DEI and inclusion strategy firm working with technology and venture-backed companies. Comparable in target customer (tech employers and founders) and in workshop-plus-advisory delivery, with overlap in the venture-capital training niche Alhaven addresses.
• PolicyLink: National research and action institute advancing racial and economic equity. Comparable mission and adjacent client base (foundations, public agencies, community organizations) but operates as a nonprofit think-and-do tank rather than a fee-for-service consultancy.
• Race Forward: National racial justice nonprofit providing training, consulting, and published research on anti-racism practice. Comparable in DEI training and consulting methodology and in serving education and institutional clients.

Direct peers

• The Winters Group: DEI and organizational development consultancy focused on systemic equity, leadership development, and culture transformation. Closely comparable in mission, services (workshops, consulting, coaching), and target buyer profile.
• Cook Ross: Boutique DEI consulting firm delivering training, coaching, and culture-change programs to corporate clients. Directly comparable as a workshop- and advisory-led DEI practice serving similar enterprise and public-sector buyers.
• Seramount (Diversity Best Practices): Membership-based DEI advisory and benchmarking firm serving large employers. Comparable as a DEI best-practices and consulting provider, though it operates at significantly larger scale and as a membership model.
