Expert Search

Connect with the Right Expert, Without the Subscription Markup

Projects are typically delivered at a fraction of the cost of a traditional expert network, and you ultimately own the relationship.

Why Expert Searching Matters

From Discovery to Deal

Discovery

Highly Targeted Expertise

yet2‘s scientific consultants have the technical depth to identify and vet experts even for highly complex or niche challenges, including cases where clients believed the needed expertise might not exist outside their own walls.

Direct Access

You Own the Relationship

yet2 facilitates a direct, warm introduction and steps back. There is no platform between you and the expert, no ongoing subscription, and no risk of losing access to a relationship you helped build.

Impact

Cost-Effective and Flexible

No annual subscription and no markup on expert hourly rates. Projects are delivered at roughly a fraction of the cost of a typical expert service, with the option to scope either a Quick Search or a Robust Roster of Vetted Experts.
