For experts
You've developed your own way of understanding problems, asking the right questions, and helping clients make better decisions.
Startedby lets you bring that methodology into the product—so it can help conduct discovery using your approach while you focus your time where your expertise, judgment, and relationships matter most.
Learn about working with experts.
Every Expert has a different way of understanding a problem. The questions you ask, what you listen for, when you dig deeper, and what you ultimately want to understand are part of your expertise.
Startedby lets you bring that approach into the discovery process. Create your own interview types around your methodology, training, and experience, then make them available exclusively to the clients you work with.
Your methodology might live in your experience, a playbook, a set of interview questions, training materials, documents, or a process you've refined over years of client work. Startedby can help turn that approach into a reusable interview method for the clients you choose.
A method is more than a questionnaire. It can define what the interview is trying to understand, who should participate, which questions or topics should always be covered, when to probe deeper, what should be avoided, and what the completed analysis should contain.
Your methodology is your intellectual property. Startedby gives you a new way to put it to work.
In a traditional engagement, you might be able to interview 20 people. Interviewing 200—or 2,000, or 20,000—is a very different proposition, and probably impossible.
Startedby lets you extend your discovery method across far more of a client organization. AI can conduct the conversations using your interview types, follow your questions, probe deeper when something matters, and adapt based on what it learns.
That means your methodology can reach people you might never have had the time or budget to interview yourself—while you stay focused on the work where your expertise matters most: interpreting what you learn, applying judgment, advising the client, and helping decide what to do next.
Your expertise stays human. Startedby helps it reach hundreds of people.
Your expertise should be visible at the moment a company realizes it needs help. Startedby gives you two places to present your practice: inside the product, where clients are already understanding what needs attention, and on a customizable public page you can share anywhere.
Free visibility inside the product. A landing page built around your practice. Two ways for the right clients to find you.
Your practice can appear inside Startedby where clients explore Experts who may fit the needs their company has surfaced. That placement is included with free Expert practice access, putting your expertise in front of companies at the moment they are deciding what kind of help they need.
Customize an unbranded public page around your practice, expertise, and approach. Make it your own, share it anywhere, and give prospective clients a focused place to understand what you do and get in touch.
Discovery is more useful when what you learn can become part of the rest of your work.
Startedby brings what it learns across your client into a shared understanding you can continue working with. Use it inside Startedby, make that context available to AI tools like Claude through MCP, or bring it into your own applications and tooling.
So the context created through discovery doesn't have to live in a report or disappear when the interviews are over. It can become an input into the analysis, tools, and work you already use to serve your clients.
Your discovery becomes working context—not a dead-end deliverable.
Startedby is free for Experts. You can have your own Expert page, bring your methodology into the platform, and use Startedby with the clients you work with.
Your relationship with your client remains yours. You bill them directly for your work outside of Startedby. Startedby doesn't take a commission or charge you a service fee for the engagement.
And the interview types you create around your methodology remain your intellectual property and are available only to the clients you choose to work with.
We provide the infrastructure. You build your practice.
Your methodology, experience, and judgment are what make your practice valuable. Startedby gives you a new way to apply them across more people, more of a client organization, and more of the work that happens after discovery. Your method. Your clients. More leverage.
