BD consultancy & introductions
Most LinkedIn profiles say what you do. The best ones put the right people in front of you. I run BD — outreach, positioning, and for a few, direct introductions — grounded in 20 years in banking and 15 in BD, not a template.
Not a template service. Not AI-generated copy with a human name on it. Every profile, sequence, and piece of content is written by Nick — with 15 years of financial services and professional services BD behind every word.
Before BD, that's on top of 20 years in bank back-office roles — FX and precious metals settlements, clerking and operations supervision, not trading or purchasing decisions — at Rothschild, Standard Bank, Standard Chartered and Citibank Australia.

£2,500
per month · 3-month minimumIntroductions, not outreach. This puts a person in front of you — a wealth manager, an IFA, or another referral partner genuinely useful to growing your business — from my own 19,000+ relationships, including 1,000+ financial advisers, accountants, investors and asset managers, introduced by name, on the strength of a real connection.
If you're a FinTech founder, that's usually exactly this: not someone who understands fintech, but direct access to the wealth managers, IFAs, accountants and investors your product is actually trying to reach — the kind of introduction you can't buy anywhere else.
The rest of my services are professional writing: a rewritten profile, a content calendar, an outreach sequence. You could get a version of those elsewhere.
This is different in kind, not just in price. There's no script, no template, and nothing you could commission from someone who hasn't spent 20 years in bank back-office operations at Rothschild, Standard Bank, Standard Chartered and Citibank Australia, followed by 15 years actually building relationships in financial and professional services BD. What you're paying for is the relationship capital from that second half — used on your behalf — which is also why it's capped, why it isn't for everyone, and why it doesn't belong next to a £750 profile rewrite.
Introductions, not outreach
At this price, telling you who it's not for is what makes the offer credible.
Direct Intro as a service is new. The relationships and the way I use them aren't — here's an example of the same approach, applied elsewhere.
Client name withheld. Not a Direct Intro client — this predates the service — included as evidence of what the network and the matching process can produce.
This only works as a conversation — book a call and I'll tell you honestly whether this is the right fit before either of us commits to anything.
Book a callI'm Nick Starbuck. Before BD, I spent 20 years in banking — Rothschild, Standard Bank, Standard Chartered and Citibank Australia, in FX and precious metals back office. In between, I ran an education training company as Finance Director for three years, growing turnover from £1.2m to £2.5m. Then 15 years doing business development across financial services, technology, property, and professional services — building a classified network of 19,000+ professionals in the process. I know what makes a senior professional reply to a message and what makes them delete it.
That experience is what makes the copy I write different. I'm not writing from a template or following a formula — I'm writing from 15 years of knowing how these conversations actually work.
Every profile, sequence, and piece of content I produce is written by me. No junior writers. No outsourcing. If you're working with nickstarbuck.com you're working with Nick.

Nick's LinkedIn outreach work has been transformational for us. As a charity, we simply didn't have the time or expertise to use LinkedIn effectively — Nick changed that completely. His work has helped us raise over £25,000 that we've been able to direct straight to the rough sleepers who need our help.

Charity Development Officer · Off The Streets
Nick is incredibly intuitive and deeply knowledgeable when it comes to LinkedIn. We were completely lost, and he managed to put us on the right track — winning business we simply wouldn't have secured otherwise. A steady stream of quality leads now coming through.
