I help senior tech professionals build consulting businesses that give them options.
A structured approach built around your expertise, your situation, and what you actually want.
– Vincent Uppelschoten
Freedom is not chased. It's built in.
For senior tech professionals ready to build consulting income alongside their career.
Good salary and a strong track record. Still no real control over what happens next.
Most senior tech professionals have spent 20 years building someone else's business. The income and the expertise are there but the options aren't because everything depends on one employer, one contract, one decision you didn't make.
Consulting changes that not by walking away from what you have but by building something alongside it.
The Windmill Startup Coaching team provides you with end to end support for whatever is “next” in your business: from starting and scaling your business, taking 4-weeks vacations, a paid sabbatical or maintaining and growing your multi-six to seven figure business.
Hi, I'm Vincent
I've been where you are.
Thirty years in senior tech roles across enterprise and scale-up environments. Product strategy, business development, pricing, offer design — I've done all of it from the inside.
I know what it feels like to be good at what you do and still feel like you're one restructure away from starting over.
Now I help senior tech professionals build structured consulting businesses not as a side hustle, but as a real second income with a proper foundation.
Coaching Services
Every engagement is different because every situation is different. Here's how I work:
I don't offer one-size-fits-all programmes. I work with senior tech professionals at different stages. Some are starting from zero, some have a business but need to sharpen it, some want to learn at their own pace. Find the right starting point below.
One-to-One Coaching
You have the expertise. You have the work history. What you need is a clear structure to turn that into a consulting business that runs without you having to figure everything out as you go.
This is a Personal Business Coaching for senior tech professionals who are serious about building something and want a structured, supported process to get there.
Offer Strategy & Development
You're already in business but your offer isn't quite landing or you know it could be more profitable but you're not sure how to get there.
We work through your positioning, pricing, and delivery model to build something you can sell with confidence.
Startup Power Course
For those who'd rather start on their own terms. A structured, self-paced programme covering offer design, financial planning, and a step-by-step launch plan.
Move at your own pace. Everything you need is inside.
Video Testimonials
Alex Crooks, Netmedia Solutions
"Before I worked with Vincent, I was struggling to get my startup off the ground. I was focusing on short term wins instead of building a scalable business. After going through his program, I was able to implement my offers, systems and processes in a more structured way to take my business to the next level. The tools and techniques that Vincent has created were a game changer for me, and the weekly sessions gave me a huge confidence boost. I highly recommend his coaching to anyone who's serious about starting or scaling their own tech business."
