Startup almost crashed last quarter

We nearly lost everything after a bad product launch. Sales tanked, team morale hit rock bottom, and I realized we had zero strategic direction. A friend suggested outside help. Any solid consulting company you'd point me toward before I make another costly mistake?

Been exactly where you are, product launch went sideways, team stopped believing in the roadmap, investors asking uncomfortable questions every Monday. What actually turned things around for us was stepping back from internal opinions entirely and bringing in people who had zero emotional attachment to our decisions. Before you hire anyone though, read this consultant vs employee because we almost hired a full-time commercial director instead and it would have been the wrong and expensive call for our stage. The difference matters more than people admit.
