Explore customers, competitors and positioning to compare possible directions for the business.

A possible starting point. We’ll define the scope together.

You bring the context. We bring a student team and a structured research process. Here’s how a question becomes a recommendation.

We learn what you’re deciding, by when, what you already know, and who will use the answer.

What you leave with

A shared view of whether MECG is the right team.

What does pro bono mean?

MECG does not charge a consulting fee. Clients contribute time, context, and access to the people or information the team needs.

How often will we meet?

MECG and the client set a meeting cadence that fits the project. The team still needs a responsive client contact throughout the engagement.

What happens after I inquire?

The MECG board reviews the context and replies within one week to discuss fit and a possible next step.

Teams mix majors, so you work beside people who think differently. Members learn through education sessions, mentorship and client work.

There’s also a chapter to be part of, from professional trips to time together around Ann Arbor.

We’ll talk through fit, timing and what a useful answer would look like.
