Overview

Clients post projects and consultants submit pitches; the platform handles the end-to-end workflow—from discovering experts and interviewing them to managing the project and processing payments. Revenue typically comes from taking a share of project value or via subscription access to platform features. The company differentiates itself with a substantial, diverse pool (80,000 independent consultants and 3,000 firms) and a structured platform that streamlines matching, contracting, and project execution, enabling organizations to access specialized expertise quickly. Its goal is to help business leaders obtain the right expertise for specific projects at scale and with clarity around delivery and costs.
