Toptal consultant unlocks 250% revenue growth for UK-based EdTech company with breakthrough go-to-market strategy

Challenge: Expanding into international markets unlocks new opportunities—and just as many challenges. Although a UK-based EdTech company had successfully launched its day care administration platform in certain markets, the brand struggled to find footing in the Americas.

Impact: Toptal’s strategy consulting services enabled the company to expand throughout the Americas, unlocking 250% revenue growth within a year. The company now operates in over 1,000 global facilities, with Latin America now representing the client’s largest market by revenue.

Anuar [Toptal's strategy consultant] was instrumental in our growth as a company. His robust analysis gave us the insight and confidence we needed to successfully launch in the Americas, leading to significant customer and revenue growth.

Toptal's vetting process connected me with a highly-qualified expert who was quick to respond and was instrumental in project development.

Throughout the project, Toptal was pro-active in ensuring quality customer service. The professionalism, security, and expertise far surpasses the individual contractor services and is well-worth the cost. I will be using Toptal for my next project.
