Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Techspert.io connects businesses with experts for domain-specific industry insights. The company was established after the founders faced difficulties in connecting with experts for product development and investment needs within the healthcare sector.

Techspert's technology platform automates the mapping and categorisation of knowledge and experts, while connecting them to consulting firms, private equity houses and corporates. The platform has expertise across 100 million experts worldwide.

The company will use the proceeds from a $12M raise in 2021 to expanding into new areas of expertise, such as consumer goods, technology, media, and telecommunications.
