- People are denied access to certain knowledge because they don't have the right network.
- When there is a urgent problem, there is no marktplace to bid for on-demand consulting time.
- There is no platform that can get it done without leaving the site.
A marketplace platform for people who want to get unstuck or better understand something on one hand, and knowledgable people who want to help others and monetize their experiences and expertise on the other hand, where
- everything users need to get their work done is integrated in the platform, such as payment, chat, and video conferencing.
- users don't need to install anything, it just works in a browser.
- its matching algorithm provides relavent recommendations to users, better than human search.
- core tech becomes very cheap; our stack is 95% on open source. utility APIs such payments and video conferences have become affordable commodities.

- Most companies don't realize the market potential in lifelong learning and interactive learning.

By 2025, the on-demand support and training will take at least 10% of that, giving us 10.7 billion addressable market.
It is a tech company and already has the largest professional network. Our advantage is to enter the market first and to better engage the communities.
It is a marketplace for on-demand consulting but the collaboration is call-based. We are not worried because it is not a tech company.
