I&#x27;ve worked on a similar service (targeted to job hunters) and have spent a lot of time researching the broader market for it.<p>It turns out there are some problems.<p>One is the pay-to-play problem <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pay_to_play" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pay_to_play</a> that opens up all sorts of ethical issues. Consequently, many companies prohibit their execs from entering into arrangements like this.<p>Even beyond that, bypassing the traditional gatekeeping methods through a cash payment is exactly that -- a bypass method.<p>And assuming those traditional gatekeeping methods are in place to protect the executive&#x27;s time and the company&#x27;s reputation, it&#x27;s just not something that a lot of truly powerful and smart execs will be on board with.<p>That doesn&#x27;t mean there aren&#x27;t a lot of expert-as-a-service consulting companies <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Expert_as_a_service" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Expert_as_a_service</a> but generally their experts only perform consulting, rather than letting you pay to pitch them your product.
