The world's first technology platform using AI to find, evaluate, and source key opinion leaders globally
Our story
In a world so driven and reliant on on-demand access to information, why are existing knowledge exchange solutions still based on small closed networks and manual subjective matching of experts to requests?
techspert.io was founded to use the power of AI, data, and logical objectivity to address these challenges. We created the world’s first AI-powered knowledge exchange solution focused on answering two core questions:
- Who has what insights, at any given time, in relation to any given product, market or technical specialism?
- How can we solicit and engage these experts on-demand so customers can get insights on the most streamlined and convenient way possible?
With a team of pioneering computer scientists and mathematicians from the University of Cambridge, we built an innovative solution addressing both of these questions. Focused initially on healthcare and life sciences, we then refined our solution to be industry agnostic and equally powerful globally.
So if you’re interested in sourcing insights and expertise matched with absolute precision to your requirements, please get in touch. We are the next generation of knowledge exchange.
What we stand for
Meet the team
techspert.io was born out of the frustration felt by the founders, Graham Mills and David Holden-White, with the challenges in connecting to the right experts at the right time. Teaming up with Hari Jackson – techspert.io CTO – they began applying AI and machine learning to the problem.
The team has grown to include leading software engineers, product managers and data scientists, all working together to build a platform that understands the world's knowledge and connects our customers to precisely the right expertise every time.
