Hi there, I'm the founder of Wisdom, a better way to consult in your spare time. I often find myself browsing Instagram or Twitter in my free time or answering surveys like Google Opinion Rewards - kind of a waste of time. It struck me that there wasn't really an easy way for knowledge workers like engineers, PMs, etc to monetize their downtime with all the valuable knowledge they have. I built Wisdom to let people with highly sought after knowledge help investors and businesses in their own time. Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
I'm initially focused on allowing investors like PE firms and VCs ask questions, but am still learning more about who might be interested in asking questions. If you have any suggestions for directions to explore, I'm all ears!
This is a pretty cool idea! Wonder how much $$ can be made and whether it can be a sustainable side income. Feels like a much better opportunity than commoditized "gig economy" jobs. Best of luck(:
I can't even get past the sign up.
When I enter an email address and a candidate password, it just says "Enter a valid email and password" (no password rules are stated). It also doesn't trim trailing spaces, and when my device's popup keyboard comes up, the page scrolls upward out of view. (Manually trimming trailing spaces had no effect)
It's indeed a chicken and egg problem. Been direct selling to Associates at PE firms/VCs/consulting firms. If you can deliver value there, lots of repeat usage for each new deal/project they have. The biggest challenge here is that incumbents like GLG provide white glove service and do a pretty decent job already, even if not tech enabled. The hardest part of this business is identifying the right people for a customer to talk to and onboarding them as an expert.
Startups and enterprise using this tool for customer discovery or user research is an interesting market but there seems to be less willingness to pay for information and it's one off, not recurring.

- "Ask Questions" should be Green - "Answer Questions" should not be Red, but rather a complementary color like Orange, Blue, Purple, or Pink ;-)
best of luck. What is your #1 method for getting Companies/Demand aware of this?

I really think an alternative to GLG is needed.
