Our Story
Our Story
Equalise.it emerged from the enduring partnerships cultivated by International Conflict and Security Consulting Ltd. (INCAS), the leading and oldest consultancy that works for social impact, peace, and security in transition, fragile, and conflict-affected regions. With a partners network that encompasses high-calibre national consultancies and NGOs across more than 20 countries, INCAS is part of a powerful collective that tackles some of the world's most pressing issues. A major obstacle to growth among INCAS partners has been capacity to effectively access project opportunities and funding, exacerbated by limited in-house business development capabilities. This often led to a cycle of sub-contracting that not only hinders independent growth but also curtails the broader impact of organisations that are best placed to address the challenges at hand.

We decided to build Equalise.it as a platform to share the burden of business development and drive our collective growth. Building on the INCAS business development approach and track record—which includes a 35-40% win-rate across both the private and public sectors—Equalise.it pools critical business development tools and knowledge from this network. Coupled with cutting-edge AI technology, deep sector-specific technical knowledge, and a team of experienced business development professionals, Equalise.it now drives growth for leading organisations on the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus.

Long-term Partnerships
Long-term Partnerships
We have learnt that long-term partnerships are critical for more efficient and effective business development. Why? Once your company or organisation is properly onboarded, we are better able to provide tailored advice and the speed of our proposal-writing, for example, increases. That's why we prefer to work with a subscription model. It extends our support beyond proposal writing to a partnership that helps develop and refine your ability to win business and/or attract and manage funding sustainably.
