About Us | Gursh - Strategic Growth Consulting

Our Story

Gursh was founded in 2014 by James Wilson, a former venture capital analyst who recognized a critical gap in the startup ecosystem. After witnessing numerous promising companies struggle to scale effectively despite having innovative products, James assembled a team of specialists to create structured scaling frameworks that bridge the gap between early-stage innovation and sustainable growth.

Our journey began with three clients in Christchurch's emerging tech scene, where we helped them refine their business models and secure initial funding. Word quickly spread about our structured approach to growth, and within two years, we expanded our services throughout New Zealand and into Australia.

Today, Gursh has evolved into a comprehensive growth consultancy with a proven track record of helping over 120 companies successfully navigate their scaling challenges. Our methodology combines data-driven analysis with practical implementation strategies, ensuring our clients not only secure investment but build sustainable operational foundations for long-term success.
