Are You An Expert? Share the Wisdom!
As an entrepreneur, there’s a ton of critical stuff you don’t know. Whether it’s how to incorporate, how to reach your target customers, or how to build a scalable technology framework, we are all plagued by questions that we need to answer. While tapping our personal networks and shooting a question out on Quora may sometimes teach us what we need to know, these methods don’t always lead to answers. To address this, Founder’s Block is building the Experts Exchange, an organization of entrepreneurs who are willing to share their expertise with others in the startup community. Whether you’re a general wizard or a master of some arcane knowledge, we invite you to join the group.
At its simplest, the Experts Exchange is a sortable database that will allow you to quickly identify knowledgeable entrepreneurs who are savvy in the area you want to learn about. You’ll be able to send them a short form with your question. This process is free for both inquirers and experts. As an expert, you develop a reputation as a subject matter expert and get free lead generation for your products and services. We are also mindful to keep your information private and give you the option to limit inquiries to avoid being overwhelmed.
We are currently recruiting experts with at least 5 years of experience in their respective fields. Note that we didn’t say “work experience”. If you’re a whiz-kid who’s still in college but you’ve been coding since you were in diapers, we need you! We are also a “for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs” organization and prefer founders and employees of startups and small businesses.
