About Office Hours
Office Hours is an on-demand expert network connecting leading organizations with the expertise they need, across industries, functions, and hard-to-reach domains. We believe human knowledge is the world's most valuable asset. Yet, even in an increasingly connected world, most of what people know remains hard to reach and underutilized. Office Hours is on a mission to change that. We're building toward a future where human expertise is easily accessible and infinitely scalable, where people realize the true value of what they know and turn it into real income and impact. Experts earn by sharing what they know through live calls, surveys, or AI interviews. Their knowledge unlocks key insights, drives mission-critical strategies, and solves real problems for clients. Trust sits at the center of it all: every expert is carefully vetted, so clients know they're speaking with exactly who they expect, and experts know every opportunity is real. Our platform and team handle everything behind the scenes, from matching to payments, so experts and clients can focus on their interaction, not the logistics. Office Hours is a hyper-growth startup headquartered in San Francisco, with growing teams in New York and Bangalore. Our customers include leading technology, life sciences, investment, consulting and AI organizations. We're backed by the top marketplace investors and operators behind companies like DoorDash, Airbnb, and Affirm.
