For clients
Reaching the right expert used to take weeks, an intermediary, and a minimum engagement you could not size down. Here you go direct — for one hour or for a hundred — at a fraction of what that access used to cost.
About ExpertBridge
Fourteen years of putting senior people in front of the companies that need them.
ExpertBridge was founded by people who have spent their careers on both sides of this market: buying expert advice inside investment firms, and supplying it to investment and consulting firms around the world.
The platform is that practice, opened to every company. A startup and a large enterprise reach the same experts, on the same terms, and see each expert's background, assessment and rate before paying for a single hour.
For experts
A secure, confidential place to put the expertise you have spent a career building to work: engagements you choose, on your terms, with your identity protected on every one.
We succeed when the engagement you run here gets you to your answer. We're glad you're here.
How we got here
We started on the buying side.
At Citigroup's equity research desk, and then on the investment team at ChrysCapital, one of India's largest private equity firms, Sidharth commissioned expert calls from the large expert networks before almost every decision — and paid what they charged.
In 2012 he founded ExpertConnect to do that work well: one-on-one consultations with industry practitioners for private equity, venture capital and consulting firms. Fourteen years on, it has arranged consultations with experts in around 40 countries, across every major industry.
Two things held true throughout. The experts worth paying for were senior people who had done the work inside large organisations. And the companies that needed them most could rarely reach them without a Big Four budget or an expert-network subscription. ExpertBridge is our answer: the same calibre of expert and the same screening, offered directly to any company, for an hour or for months.

LinkedInWho we work with
Three kinds of client, one standard of expert.
Our experts work across every industry — healthcare, medical devices, automotive, manufacturing, financial services, technology and more — and across the world, remotely and in your working hours.
Companies with a defined piece of work
A pricing model, a vendor selection, a migration estimate, a market entry, a plant set-up. A person who has done it inside a large organisation, for the hours it takes, without a retainer or a hire.
Growing companies building something new
Finance, operations, go-to-market, compliance, a data or platform team. An expert who has built it before, for an hour a week or for a quarter, while you decide whether to hire.
Consulting and investment teams
One-on-one consultations with practitioners who have run the function, the plant or the programme you are studying — the format we have delivered to private equity, venture capital and consulting firms for fourteen years.
How it operates
Process, not promise.
Six things are fixed regardless of which engagement you take — 1‑on‑1 Consult, Solo Pod or Team Pod.
01
Sourcing
Experts are sourced by direct approach against the domain named in your brief, drawing on a network built over fourteen years.
02
Vetting
No expert reaches an engagement unassessed. Every expert is either Atlas-assessed against the domain in the brief, or manually screened, before assignment to a client.
03
Confidentiality and conflicts
Experts agree not to share confidential information about their current or former employers. Before an expert is proposed, we check for conflicts with the companies you name.
04
Scalability
Start at one hour. Add hours, add experts, or move to a delivery pod as the work grows. No minimum, no retainer, and nothing to re-contract when the scope changes.
05
Replacement
You are never committed beyond the hours you have bought. If an expert is not working out, close that block and bring in another for the next one. No notice, no conversation, no fee.
06
Transparency
You see the full cost before the engagement starts, the same way for one hour as for a hundred. Hours are billed as used, and nothing reaches the invoice that you did not see first.
