About the authors 

We are Marcus Feldthus and Oscar Haumann, and we founded the consultancy Abel in 2015, which we, with a small team, ran until 2024. At Abel, we primarily supported startups and SMEs with green ambitions, helping them outperform conventional alternatives. In 2024, we decided to close Abel in pursuit of work with greater impact.

In 2023, we launched the international learning platform Post Growth Guide, where we continue to teach, develop tools, and give talks on working with strategic limitation. Our work covers everything from business models to ownership structures and financing approaches, and it also addresses the fundamental question of how to meaningfully define an appropriate size for a company.
