Virtual advisory platform connecting clients with independent expert consultants
Collective iQ operates a marketplace for on-demand expert consulting, built on React, .NET, and PostgreSQL with AWS infrastructure. The company is moving deliberately toward data-driven operations—adopting Claude and Codex signals AI-assisted research and code generation—while grappling with expert retention and sales scaling. Support and engineering dominate the hiring mix, suggesting platform reliability and feature velocity are near-term focus areas as the business expands its private equity practice.
Collective iQ is a London-based virtual advisory platform that matches independent consultants with clients seeking specialized expertise on flexible, project-based terms. The platform operates a network model: clients post knowledge needs, vetted consultants bid or are matched, and engagements happen end-to-end through the platform. The company is actively scaling sales operations, expanding into private equity advisory, and building data infrastructure to automate parts of the matching and engagement workflow. Current active projects span onboarding, expert retention, research strategy, deal intelligence, and client insights.
React and .NET for the core platform, PostgreSQL for data, AWS for hosting, Docker for containerization, and GitHub for version control. Recent additions include Claude and Codex for AI-assisted features, plus HubSpot for CRM and Datadog for monitoring.
