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

    NEW YORK, NY, October 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 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 Maro, 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.
