About Sweav

Sweav is a fast-growing tech platform and community, connecting A-player freelance strategy and M&A professionals with clients and projects.

Our purpose is to empower these A-players to take ownership of their time and career. So they can work where they make the biggest impact — and be a more productive member of society.

At the same time, we make it accessible for clients to work with these A-players. With a more flexible, human, pragmatic and cost-effective model than the traditional professional services firms.

Since launching in 2022, we’ve grown to a community of 350 freelancers and over 400 clients across private equity, corporates and scale-ups. We’ve doubled in revenue every year, and we expect to continue doing so. Sweav is currently with a team of 15.

• Identify potential clients

• (Re)activate potential clients through targeted (email) outreach and via warm introductions within the network
