Overview

Evisors is an online marketplace for expertise.

Online retailers connect buyers and sellers of goods regardless of distance. But what do you do when you need advice or expertise rather than a physical good? Sifting through books and articles is time consuming and often fails to provide you with the confidence you need to make big decisions in business and in life. There is no quicker way to get the confidence and the expertise you need to succeed than by having a real conversation with an expert.

Evisors provides real and personal conversations over the phone or via email with qualified experts across a range of topics. We step in where friends, family, colleagues, Facebook and LinkedIn fall short, by giving you access to hard-to-find expertise at the click of a button. In other words, we provide Great advice, on Demand.

Our Mission

We want to democratize the access to great expertise and advice.

Our Story

Evisors beta launched in September 2010 providing expert career advice by connecting customers with former employees and interviewers at sought-after employers. We have since expanded to offer admissions, test prep, and entrepreneurship advice among many other areas.

Evisors Launches Entrepreneurship Network; Start-Ups Can Now Find and Connect With Experienced Experts

 

Online marketplace for expert advice offers access to hundreds of entrepreneurship and small business advisors

 

New York, NY (October XX, 2011) – Evisors, an online marketplace for expert advice, today announced the launch of its entrepreneurship network, making access to hundreds of entrepreneurship and small business advisors available to start-ups seeking expert guidance. The Evisors network includes CEOs, successful entrepreneurs, investors, experienced professionals and business consultants. Evisors’ experts are available to provide insights, answers and coaching related to start-up fundraising and finance issues, legal issues, marketing, business plans and pitch decks, as well as entrepreneurial management issues.

 

“The difference between a start-up that soars and a start-up that never makes it off the ground can be as simple as getting the right advice at the right time,” said Fredrik Marø, co-founder and CEO of Evisors. “Evisors makes it possible to find an expert that can help you get the answers you need to make key business decisions that may shape your ability to be successful.”

 

Evisors’ entrepreneurship network features many respected leaders in the start-up space, including renowned investor and author Dave Berkus and David Ronick, co-founder of the online start-up incubator Upstart Bootcamp. Dave Berkus is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Berkus Method for valuing early stage investments and as one of the most active angel investors in the United States, having actively participated in more than 80 technology investments in the past decade. He also currently manages two angel investment funds, Berkus Technology Ventures and Kodiak Ventures. In addition to his work with Upstart Bootcamp, David Ronick has also helped more than 100 entrepreneurs plan and launch ventures, including Ralph Lauren, Moby and Tiki Barber.

 

“Evisors enabled me to approach someone with expertise that I otherwise would have had a hard time getting introduced to. I was able to ask direct questions and immediately get into a ‘meaty’ conversation ,” said Yan Chang, President Domain Cabinets Direct, Inc. and Evisors client of Dave Berkus. “Mr. Berkus provided honest and insightful feedback that was incredibly helpful. Being able to pick the brain of someone who has been there and done that was extremely valuable.” 

 

“Evisors connected me with just what I needed when my company was invited to present to a venture capital firm,” said Dr. James Maisel, a retinal surgeon and founder and CEO of ZyDoc and Evisors client of Charles Huang, a healthcare venture capitalist. “I found an expert with experience in the healthcare IT space who was able to help us assemble an excellent presentation that hit all the right points. As a result, multiple investors took notice and singled us out.”

 

To find an expert, customers can use Evisors’ simple search interface to identify relevant experts, view their profiles and evaluate them by their qualifications, reviews, ratings, availability and hourly rate. Once they have selected an expert, they can schedule a phone consultation or submit an email query. Experts set their own rates, which range from $30 to more than $500 per consultation depending on the length of the session, the expert’s education level, career background and experience.

Evisors Announces 15 New College and University Partners; Schools Expand Career Services to Include Professional Experts  

 

Online marketplace for expert advice gives students and alumni access to nearly 1,000 career, graduate admissions and business experts

 

New York, NY (September 20, 2011) Evisors, an online marketplace for expert advice, announced today that it has partnered with 15 colleges and universities, granting students and alumni access to its network of nearly 1,000 highly-qualified and knowledgeable professional experts, such as career coaches, CEOs, successful entrepreneurs and top admissions consultants. Evisors has forged partnerships with both undergraduate and graduate schools. Undergraduate schools include Babson College and Emory Goizueta Business School, which also extends access to its graduate students as well, and graduate schools including the Carroll School of Management at Boston College, Claremont Graduate School, Fordham University Graduate School of Business and Oklahoma State University Spears School of Business. Evisors has also partnered with several institutions outside of the U.S., such as Cambridge Judge Business School in the U.K.

 

“Partnering with Evisors is a great opportunity for colleges and universities to expand their own networks and create a powerful career advising and mentorship platform for their students and recent grads,” said Fredrik Marø, co-founder and CEO of Evisors. “The partners we announced today are enhancing their career services resources by putting students and graduates in command of a diverse professional network that can help them achieve their career goals.”

 

Students and recent graduates at partner institutions can schedule one-on-one consultations and attend featured webinars to gain first-hand career insights and coaching from Evisors’ experienced experts. The advisors can assist with anything from resume help, mock interview prep and strategic job search support, to guidance related to launching an entrepreneurial venture. For undergraduates interested in going to a top business or law school, Evisors also grants access some of the leading law school and MBA admissions consultants.

 

“Through Evisors, I was able to find a great expert who not only answered my questions about career paths in brand management, but who could also discuss the specifics of my internship project. She even suggested software I could use to present my research

data more convincingly,” said Maria Ponomareva, an MBA Student at McGill University.

To find an expert and schedule a one-on-one consultation, students and recent grads can use Evisors’ simple search interface to identify relevant experts, view their profiles and evaluate them by their qualifications, reviews, ratings and availability. Schools either purchase pre-paid hours for their students to use for free or sign up for university subscriptions where their students get discounts off listed prices on Evisors.com. In addition to scheduling one-on-one consultations, Evisors also offers expert webinars for university partners. Students get access to live and recorded interactive sessions with top experts covering relevant career topics like “Cracking the Consulting Case Interview” with Marc Cosentino, author of Case in Point.

 

“Evisors webinars are a valuable career education resource for our students. The experts are knowledgeable, prepared and customize the content well to our students’ needs,” said Donna Modica, Associate Director of Graduate Management Career Services at Boston College. “The web-based sessions provide interactive engagement with experts across the globe wherever and whenever our students are available.”

Evisors Makes Expert Advice Accessible and Affordable

 

New online marketplace connects customers to hundreds of best-in-class admissions, career and business advisors

 

New York, NY (August 23, 2011) Evisors, an online marketplace for expertise and advice, today announced that it has emerged from its Beta phase and officially launched Evisors.com. Founded in May 2010 by Harvard Business School graduates Fredrik Marø, Marc Weiner and Dan Levy and Wharton MBA graduate Christine Apold, Evisors allows consumers to go beyond their own personal and professional networks to search its expansive database of experienced experts and directly schedule consultations. Currently, Evisors has a growing network of nearly a thousand highly-qualified, carefully screened experts from a variety of backgrounds with unique, in-demand experience and skills. From CEOs and successful entrepreneurs, to professors and former admissions officers, Evisors’ diverse library of experts hail from prestigious schools and organizations, representing more than a thousand companies across a wide range of industries.

 

Evisors began with the idea that everyone should be able to pick the brain of an expert and receive one-on-one professional coaching and counseling; not just Fortune 500 companies with the resources to hire an expensive consultant,” said Fredrik Marø, co-founder and CEO of Evisors. “As former management consultants ourselves, we saw an opportunity to level the playing field and give everyone access to the advice and expertise they need to be successful, especially when their own networks such as LinkedIn and Facebook fail them.”

 

Evisors’ experts are organized broadly into three categories: admissions, business and career experts, and offer advice and an inside track on a wide range of subject matters, including industry expertise, entrepreneurship, job hunting strategies, interview practice, resume and cover letter help, business consulting and career management, as well as college, law and business school admissions. To find an expert, customers can use Evisors’ simple search interface to identify relevant experts, view their profiles and evaluate them by their qualifications, reviews, ratings, availability and hourly rate. Once they have selected an expert, they can schedule a phone consultation or submit an email query. Experts set their own rates, which range from $30 to more than $500 per consultation depending on the length of the session, the expert’s education level, career background and experience.

 

 

In addition to individuals directly hiring Evisors’ expert advisors, a growing number of universities, including Cambridge, Oxford, McGill, Babson and Boston College, are using Evisors to connect their students and graduates to a rich and diverse group of career experts for relevant advice from resume and interview help to strategic job search assistance. Evisors also has affiliate partners that host Evisors widgets to showcase targeted experts and earn a referral fee for consultations sold.  Current affiliates include WetFeet.com, a website aimed at equipping job seekers with the advice, research and inspiration needed to achieve a successful career, and Glassdoor.com a major company review website featuring salary details, company reviews and interview questions.

 

Evisors continues to add additional experts, affiliates and university partners. The official launch of Evisors.com marks the next phase in Evisors’ growth. In July, Evisors closed its seed fundraising round with lead investor Nebula Ventures and a group of angel investors including members of New York Angels. This fall Evisors will launch a new white label solution for companies and organizations.

On the Experts

Great knowledge and advice!
I'm definitely going to schedule another session. Highly recommend.
Maggie definitely exceeded my expectations.
My second consultation with Yael was just as helpful as the first.
Very detailed and helpful feedback! Would definitely recommend her!
Ben continues to provide extraordinary insights and support.
Very helpful advice! Stephen brought up a lot of points that I hadn't thought about before.
Very helpful session. Expert was candid and took a real interest in providing the best possible advice.
Good advice and answers to the questions that I had posted upfront.

On Career Topics

Heather was able to quickly assess my needs. The takeaways I gained in my call with her will be invaluable as I pursue new leadership opportunities.
I am a Ben success story. Ben was a great resource to me during my interview process. Ben's feedback and insights pushed my performance forward in a meaningful way on both case and behavioral interviews. In the end, I got the offer I wanted!
I feel really confident about my revised stories now, all thanks to Lisa. I wish I had this session with her earlier. I would strongly recommend Lisa to my friends and classmates who want to get into banking.
I had an excellent session with Jeremy. He was very helpful to me in charting my next professional move into a web-based company. I would highly recommend him for a consultation.
I am a repeat client of Lisa. She helped me prepare thoroughly for both case and fit interview portions for my consulting interviews. Beyond that she gave me a lot of insight, support encouragement and strategies that I value a lot. A+ consulting interview coach. Strongly recommend.
Paul is very patient and is the perfect person to speak with regarding working at GE, especially as he has been through many mergers/acquisitions with the company.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants to break into finance.
Kathleen was great. After working with her, I felt extremely prepared for my interviews. Kathleen was instrumental in helping me land a job in management consulting. Thank you Kathleen!
Kathleen's prompt response and expertise on resume/cover letter was very impressive. Thanks!
Great price. Great coach. Fantastic Value for money. One hour the night before gave me sufficient confidence to get through to the final round at McKinsey’s London office.

On Admission Topics

Great insight and critical feedback.
Thanks for your last minute help!
I was looking for advice in a somewhat abbreviated time frame and Luke was very accommodating. He had put together a truly helpful packet of information that helped to answer many of my questions.
Dominique's advice was specific and insightful and the kind that could only come from first hand (and successful!) experience with the HBS admissions process. I could not have gained this much insight into the HBS and its admission process elsewhere.
I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for coaching in MBA interviews.
I spoke to Aditya regarding B-school applications and corporate strategy positions thereafter. He shared his experiences in detail and provided really helpful insights about choosing schools, strategies for positioning the applications and tips on how to succeed at business schools. Overall, it was great talking to him.
This was my second consultation, and I was as pleased with the outcome of this as I was with the outcome of the first one. EssaySnark provides crisp, clear, honest feedback (brutally honest some would say, but hey, don't fool yourself - that is what you want, and what you need). Further, they do this in a very timely and professional manner. I should also comment on the price, as some may be discouraged by what may appear somewhat steep a fee compared to other service providers ($525). It's worth it. If you're looking to spend $200k on an MBA, and you've already paid top dollar for a GMAT course, this is something you should absolutely do. $525 is not a lot in that context, absurd as it may sound.
Among other MBA alumni and other consultants that I spoke with, my Evisor clearly added most overall value to my application.
Gave insightful business school admission advice, was clear and very helpful, and provided constructive feedback about my profile. Overall, a very good experience.

On Start-Up and Business Topics

She is a guru in her field!
Stacey is a great person to speak to if you are thinking about doing your own start-up! She is very frank, to the point, and well worth the time to talk to her.
Mollie has lots of creative suggestions and great insights into the realities of the publishing world.
This girl really knows her stuff! I really recommend talking to Hayley if you are thinking about starting a company in the retail space. She is full of good ideas and contacts.
I was immediately able to get into 'meaty' conversation with Dave and ask direct questions. He was also able to give me direct feedback on the files that I sent prior. He was honest and insightful, giving the type of feedback and advice that allows me to 'peek insight' of the mind of somebody who has been there and done that.
I have a start-up and Steve was extremely helpful in giving me practical suggestions and advice. In addition, he had manufacturing and sourcing experience that was directly relevant to my young business.
Tamara was very kind and helpful. She provided specific advice on the project I am working on now.

On Evisors.com

I use Elance a lot, but it's impossible to find experts in the way Evisors offers. -- Daniel S. from ConsultingFact.com
Overall I am very satisfied with the experience on evisors. I think it is an amazing company, that provides high value. I am now a loyal customer and promoter of evisors.
This is the first time I use Evisors and my overall experience was very positive. Evisors enabled me to approach someone with expertise that I otherwise would have a hard time getting introduced to. It is convenient and quick to automatically set up, make payment and confirm the mutual agreeable e-meeting time slot. It saves time that otherwise has to be spent on traveling, on chit-chat or on multi-people introductions. My expert was very knowledgeable and the technology was seamless - highly recommended!
Excellent service!
Great advice and great assistance just like last time. It was definitely a good investment.
Great site. Easy to use and fulfills a great need.
This is exactly what I expected to get from Evisors.
I couldn't be more pleased.
I looked at the website a couple of times before deciding on my evisor -- I was looking for someone who would understand my non-profit background. I got excellent feedback, which was detailed, honest and relevant.
Evisors is quite seamless.
Overall, good value for email question.
The technology and call quality was very good - I was a little unsure of what to expect.
Very convenient platform and business model.
Another excellent session!
It was a highly satisfying experience.
Thank you for this service. I am very impressed.
I received a reply within an hour. Not only was the reply given so quickly, but it was also a clear, concise and honest answer. Very satisfied.
Overall, a very good experience.

In addition, you are not allowed to provide advice on the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, selling or purchasing securities, or any report or analysis concerning securities. Please see our Terms of Service for a full description.

How should I set my rate?

Experts on Evisors set rates varying from $50 to more than $400 per hour. Experts may find that that they can charge higher rates if they have more work experience, higher levels of education, and/or backgrounds from more sought-after schools, companies or industries. Remember however that Evisors is a marketplace and that you can change your rates at any time if you find yourself getting too few customers or more customers than you can handle. Many experts keep their rates low when they lack feedback and raise them over time after positive feedback.

How does Evisors make money?

In order to cover our costs, we mark up the expert rate you set, so that you get the rate you want, and we can pay for maintaining Evisors.com.

Do members of the public get my email address and phone number?

No! All of your contact information is kept completely private and will not be released to anyone.

How does Evisors protect my privacy?

Evisors takes the privacy of its experts very seriously. Your profile will only contain your first name and our online collaboration tool allows you to connect anonymously with your clients. At no point is your full name, phone number or email address given out. Clients can contact you in advance, share files and schedule subsequent meetings by using their consultation homepage that routes everything through our system and protects your privacy. You can also take a look at our Privacy Policy.

When should I expect my first call?

Your profile goes live once you have completed a full profile and you can receive a request anytime after that. You can increase traffic to your profile in a number of ways including adding a profile photo, adding detailed description of your skills and experience, contributing as a guest blogger (email here) or adjusting your rate. We also give our new experts the opportunity to provide their first session free so they can garner good feedback, which is the biggest factor when customers select experts. You can select this option directly on your profile. We also recommend updating your availability regularly so that when people contact you, it is a seamless scheduling process! 

How should I prepare for my first call?

The meeting request you receive from the Evisors network will have some suggested meeting times based on the preferred times in your profile. This meeting request will also include details on the type of advice the customer is looking for (e.g., informational interview for investment banking). Once you accept the meeting request for a specific time, Evisors.com will send you a calendar invite. In preparation for your meeting, we recommend you prepare as you would for any business meeting. For example, if you were providing a consulting case interview, you would thoroughly prepare your case as well as information on consulting and the various firms as per your expertise. You can contact your client in advance of the meeting through the consultation homepage (accessible on your expert profile) if you have specific questions on what they would like to cover (e.g., types of consulting case interviews they want to focus on) or if you want them to forward additional files to your attention. All information will be shared through this consultation platform and we will notify you by email if the client contacts you. 

How do I generate more business?

First, thank you for joining the Evisors network! We know that filling out your profile can be a daunting task at times but we promise you it’s worth it! We’ve put together a few tips and tricks on how to generate more business to your profile:

  1. Sign up to offer your first session free. Feedback is the most important criteria people look for in an Evisor. You are more likely to get picked when you lack feedback if you offer your first session free and then you can use that to generate positive feedback.
  2. Add a photo! We know – it sounds silly. But it really does make a difference in terms of people trusting you and booking their first session with you.
  3. Ensure your profile is fully filled out and add lots of descriptions. This enables our search engine to serve up your expertise appropriately and direct people to your profile through our marketing efforts. Adding descriptions is also important because many times people are looking for very specific expertise and no one knows your expertise better than you!
  4. Update your availability. Adding more availability and keeping it updated ensures that consumers find times that work for both of you.
  5. Volunteer to guest blog at blog.evisors.com. Email Christine at capold@evisors.com if you are interested in guest blogging on our site. Great way to contribute some free advice and generate interest in your profile. 

How do I get paid?

Experts can elect to be paid via paypal or by receiving check at the end of the month from Evisors.

What are Evisors.com terms of service?

Our terms of service are visible at our Terms of Service. By using the Evisors site, you have accepted these terms and conditions. We hope that you thoroughly review them in advance of your first consultation. Please email us at experts@evisors.com with any questions or concerns about this.

What is Evisors' cancellation policy?

An expert can reschedule a meeting and as long as it is acceptable by the client. An expert can cancel a meeting as long as it is 48 hours in advance of the session. Sessions cancelled within 48 hours of a session will be monitored by the Evisors team and could result in the suspension of your profile.

I forgot my password, how do I reset it?

Please visit www.evisors.com/login/#forgot and submit your email address at the bottom of the page to reset.

What if I want my profile hidden or removed?

The Evisors team is happy to hide or delete your profile at any time for any reason. Please email us at support@evisors.com with your request and we will respond within 24 hours of receiving it.

Insider Trading

A.    Legal Prohibitions and Penalties

U.S. federal securities laws and the laws of most jurisdictions worldwide generally prohibit "insider trading" or the purchase or sale, or the recommendation of a purchase or sale, of any stock, bond, option or other security by a person while he or she is in possession of "material nonpublic information" (sometimes also referred to as "inside information") about the security or its issuer. The use of such material nonpublic information to avoid losses is no less a violation than the use of such information to generate profits.

Regulators have treated the detection and prosecution of insider trading violations as an enforcement priority, and violations have also been the subject of private legal actions. U.S. federal and state securities laws provide for criminal and civil penalties for violations of the insider trading laws. Sanctions or penalties include jail sentences, civil injunctions, fines for the person who committed the violation of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the unlawful trades, whether or not the person fined actually traded, and fines for the person's employer or other controlling person.

A person can be subject to some or all of these penalties as a "tipper" if he or she discloses material nonpublic information to another person who then trades while in possession of such information. A person can incur "tipper-tippee" liability if his or her disclosure of information breaches a duty owed to the issuer or the source of the information. A tipper can be liable even if he or she does not personally receive a direct monetary benefit from the ensuing trading activity.

It is also important to understand that the prohibitions on disclosing or misusing information do not apply only to "insiders" such as officers, directors, employees and significant shareholders of an issuer. The prohibitions can also apply to "outsiders" such as consultants, accountants, lawyers and underwriters who have a duty of trust or confidence to the source of the material nonpublic information. In addition, the prohibitions can also apply to persons with a family relationship to the source of the information, and to persons with any other relationship of trust or confidence with the source (such as when people have a history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences).

You are prohibited from disclosing any nonpublic information in breach of any duty of trust or confidence to the source or subject matter of the information.

B.    Material Information

Information is "material" if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding whether to purchase, sell or hold a security or other financial instrument. It is also information that, if disclosed, is reasonably likely to affect the market price of the security or instrument. Information may be material even if it relates to speculative or contingent events. Information that is material with respect to a security is also likely to be material with respect to options and other related derivatives.

Information that is material usually includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant merger or acquisition discussions or agreements, major litigation or regulatory investigations, regulatory approvals or disapprovals, and extraordinary management developments.

Because the determination of whether information is "material" involves questions of judgment (that may be second-guessed by a regulator who has the benefit of hindsight), you should refrain from disclosing nonpublic information if you have any questions about whether the information might potentially be considered material.

C.    Nonpublic Information

Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the market place or made widely available to the general public such as by means of a press release carried over a major news services, a public filing made with a regulatory agency, or material sent to security holders or potential investors (such as a proxy statement or prospectus).

It is sometimes difficult to know whether information has been made public. The fact that nonpublic information is reflected in rumors in the marketplace does not mean that the information has been publicly disseminated. Even when some information regarding a matter has been made public, other aspects of the matter may remain nonpublic.

No Assignment

Expert shall not assign his or her rights and obligations according to this Agreement, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior, written consent of Evisors. Any purported assignment by Expert without the appropriate prior written approval will be null and void and of no force or effect.

Therefore, Expert is encouraged to check the terms of this Agreement frequently. By using the service or Site after the changes become effective, Expert agrees to be bound by such changes to the Agreement. If Expert does not agree to the changes, Expert may terminate access to the Site and participation in Evisors services by following the procedures set forth above.
