WHY I BUILT UPLIFT
I'm Sylvester, founder of Uplift. I studied engineering at Oxford and have worked across consulting, investment banking and M&A advisory.
I've seen how easily the language of business can make capable people feel they're supposed to know something nobody has properly explained. EBITDA. DCF. Market sizing. Everyone uses the words. Far fewer explain the thinking.
I built Uplift to close that gap: useful explanations, realistic examples and a chance to practise before the stakes are real.
