Knowledge Gate GroupAt its core Knowledge Gate Group democratizes access to advanced knowledge. We do this by connecting companies to experts for micro-consultations- empowering the companies to test their ideas and assumptions. When a company needs to know something and they don’t have that knowledge internally, we match the company with top experts in the field for a micro-consultation (usually a 1-hour video call). Here they can receive top level guidance from the world expert on the topic for a small fraction of the cost of a traditional consultancy.
