Find your peers with expert-led guidance and support

The only community of its kind, founded by Whitney Kippes for freelance consultants supporting clients in global development.

Bid Boss's Boss-to-Boss Consultant Network is designed to help you feel like you have coworkers again, find efficiencies in your consulting work, and ensure that you have the right tools to do the best work you can.

This community was designed by and for freelance consultants who understand that we need community, despite our tendency to compete directly or indirectly with one and other for certain opportunities. No matter what, we value community over competition.

Does this sound like you?

  • Aiming for success

    You wish that owning your own business came with a quick-start manual and would love to have some tips and tricks on how to manage the admin side of your business.

  • Craving connection

    You miss having coworkers and want to build authentic connections with a strong community of freelance consultants who will be there to share strategies, tackle challenging problems, and gut check your instincts.

  • Striving for balance

    You know that a sustainable consulting practice (and growth strategy!) means playing the long-game, even if it is a day-to-day struggle to set boundaries with clients (and yourself).
