“So, yeah, we automate most of the process, but also the way we deliver insights is very different than other traditional expert networks. Basically, we have about 40,000 experts, and every single expert is searchable and transparent on our website. So basically, when a client signs on our platform, they can search an expertise and they can engage those experts on a real time basis.”
“Every expert that provides approved response to a question gets paid somewhere between $20 to $50 and also basically answering a question and on top of getting paid for the answer they provide, they also become eligible for a higher value consulting engagement.”
“If you make $50 in eight minutes, it's more than any other expert network's paying experts in an hourly basis.”
