What JIIE Consulting - Junior Initiative IE Consulting does

JIIE Consulting (Junior Initiative IE) is a student-led, non-profit consulting organization founded at IE University in Madrid in March 2020. It operates as the first Junior Enterprise in Madrid and is part of the global Junior Enterprise network comprising 325+ non-profit student associations and 35,000+ Junior Entrepreneurs. The organization delivers pro-bono consulting services — free of charge to clients — through multidisciplinary student teams drawn from IE University's Business, Finance, Data Analytics, International Relations, Economics, and Law programs, recruited through a rigorous selection process and trained in standard strategy frameworks and case methodology.

The firm's service offering is organized into four verticals: Finance (financial modelling, valuation, budgeting, strategic financial planning), Strategy (market entry, competitive analysis, business model design, growth strategy), Marketing (brand strategy, go-to-market planning, digital marketing), and Startups (pitch decks, business plans, investor-ready materials). There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is executed by assigned student consultant teams following a structured four-step engagement process — scoping call with the Business Development team, team assignment, regular client check-ins, and final presentation — running on semester-aligned ~4-month project cycles. An internal Member Portal supports operations.

The business model is explicitly non-commercial: services are provided free of charge, and the organization generates no revenue from clients. Value capture is realized by students through hands-on consulting experience rather than by the entity itself. Client targeting is concentrated in Madrid-based startups, early-stage companies, and SMEs seeking affordable consulting support across diverse industries; named clients include Trade Republic, Eolic Wall, S2S Dynamics, El Terreno, and Gamersfy. Governance rests with a student board comprising Co-Presidents Corentin Ogier and Hector Gregori, Vice President Leon Gutierrez, and Managing Director Claudia Dorado.

Broad incumbents

• Bain & Company: Top-tier global management consulting firm with deep recruiting relationships at IE University. Operates in strategy and corporate development consulting — adjacent to JIIE's Strategy vertical and serving as a primary employer of JIIE alumni.
• McKinsey & Company: Global management consulting firm that actively recruits from IE University and competes with JIIE for top student talent. Operates in the same strategy consulting category but as a paid, professional services firm — not a direct commercial competitor but a relevant comparable for talent and career outcomes.
• Boston Consulting Group: Global management consulting firm with strong presence in strategy and growth consulting — overlapping with JIIE's Strategy and Startups verticals. Competes for IE University talent and represents the career destination many JIIE consultants aspire to.
• Deloitte: Big Four professional services firm with consulting, strategy, and finance practices that overlap with all four JIIE verticals. Operates structured pro-bono and graduate programs that compete for the same student demographic and offer similar capability exposure.

Others

• JA Worldwide (Junior Achievement): Global nonprofit focused on youth entrepreneurship and workforce readiness education. Operates in adjacent student development territory and shares JIIE's 'Junior' branding convention, but is a larger institutional ecosystem rather than a direct consulting service peer.

Direct peers

• 180 Degrees Consulting: Global student-led nonprofit consulting network with university chapters delivering pro-bono consulting to social enterprises and nonprofits. Directly comparable to JIIE in mission, student-led delivery model, and pro-bono structure, though focused on social impact clients.
• Junior Enterprise España: National federation of Spanish Junior Enterprises. JIIE is part of this federation structure; peer JEs deliver similarly structured student consulting services across other Spanish universities with comparable vertical offerings and processes.

Emerging players

• Net Impact: Global nonprofit with student and professional chapters focused on using business skills for social impact. Shares JIIE's student-led, mission-driven ethos and pro-bono delivery model, though typically more focused on social enterprises than commercial startups.
