## Description

A managed expert network for the technology vendors that sell to Shopify brands. It vets brand operators, matches them to you, books the calls and pays the brand after each one. The calls ask where a product fits: the brand's plans this quarter, how it judges new tools and what a test would take. It says 1,000+ operators are enrolled, 5,000+ paid meetings have run and $1M+ has been paid to members. Named clients include Postscript, Intelligems, Storetasker, Depict and OrderProtection. A client portal shows past and booked calls and the themes from them. Add-ons cover call prep, transcript analysis and co-marketing content.

## Watch for

No price is published. It is invite only, and each client gets a quoted monthly package. Each brand is also paid separately per call, so the full cost is unknown until you apply. The founder built it after leading go-to-market at Tydo, and one homepage testimonial is from Tydo's CEO. The call format and the coaching ask where you fit and what would make a test easy. That is closer to sales discovery than to research. Brands in the network also get its Chrome extension, which labels and filters cold vendor pitches in Gmail.
