Executive Summary

Expert Connect addresses a critical gap in the GCC market: connecting high-caliber regional mentors with professionals seeking localized expertise. This digital platform will democratize access to mentorship while creating sustainable revenue streams through a credit-based transaction system.

The platform targets three key user groups: GCC-based professionals and expats seeking mentorship, seasoned industry experts offering guidance, and organizations purchasing team subscriptions. With a focus on structured learning journeys and regional expertise, Expert Connect positions itself as the premier mentorship marketplace for the Middle East.

The Problem

Professionals in the GCC region struggle to find mentors who understand local business culture, regulations, and market dynamics.

Existing mentorship platforms lack regional focus and structured learning approaches.

The Solution

Expert Connect creates a marketplace where vetted regional experts offer structured mentorship through:

  • Credit-based booking system for flexible engagement

  • Pre-designed learning paths for specific skills

  • Team subscriptions for organizational clients

  • Quality assurance through ratings and reviews

Why
Urban Pixel

We appreciate transparency, so let's set things straight.

We are NOT here to promise you the world, under-deliver, take your money and run.

Contracts are great and we will gladly sign them.

What’s more important is our word & commitment.

And although we enjoy checking off deliverables, we love going that extra mile for you to succeed.

Let’s face it.

The more money you make, the happier you are having us around.

Growth, long term thinking, and compound effect.

It’s a partnership, not a transaction.

We love our clients.

We choose them, just as much as they choose us.

And we commit to their dreams, everyday.

We spend so much time with them, we are kind of always like an extension to their team.

Getting to know them, is kind of like getting to know us better.

And we will always push and promote them because we believe in what they offer.

A great team! You sat in our brain. You saw the story from an outside perspective. You analyzed and assessed. You integrated solutions that we would have never got into and gave us the confidence to do so. You challenged the team you joined a community. How long do I have to go on?
