Access the top 1% of vetted AI talent. Matched, not searched.
Anyone can claim AI expertise. We maintain a small bench of engineers and specialized consultancies with verified production work — and match them to serious projects through a short scoping call and two to three curated introductions. No directories, no bidding, no guesswork.
How a match works
- 1
Submit your brief
The problem, budget range, and timeline. Two minutes.
- 2
Scoping call
15 minutes with us — so the match is right, not fast.
- 3
Curated introductions
Two to three vetted experts or teams. You choose.
“AI experts” are everywhere. Real production experience is rare.
Buyers can’t tell wrapper demos from working systems — and one bad AI hire or engagement costs six months. Our answer is old-fashioned: verify the work, check the references, and stake our name on every introduction.
Verified deployments
At least two production AI systems we can verify — with the people who paid for them.
Reference-checked
Past clients tell us what it was really like. Specialists only; no generalists.
Accountable matches
We stay on through the engagement. If a match isn’t working, we fix it.

Common questions
How does vetting work?+
Every expert and consultancy in the network has at least two verifiable production AI deployments, reference checks with past clients, and a defined specialty. We decline far more applicants than we accept — the network is a bench, not a directory.
What does it cost to submit a project?+
Nothing. Submitting a brief and the scoping call are free. If we make a match, our fee is part of the engagement terms you see up front — no surprise markups.
What size projects fit best?+
Engagements from $25k up, and fractional or full-time placements. Smaller than that, we may still point you in the right direction — but curated matching works best on serious projects.
How fast do matches happen?+
Days, not weeks. A typical sequence: brief today, scoping call within two business days, and two to three curated introductions shortly after.
Why should experts join?+
Qualified, scoped projects with budgets attached — sourced from an audience of tens of thousands of operators, investors, and builders across our newsletter and shows. No bidding wars, no race to the bottom.
