Experty is a new idea merging digital communications and blockchain remuneration.
The company is launching a platform that will enable providers and buyers of expertise to connect and accurately track billable time and compensate sellers instantly.
The Ethereum-based platform will integrate digital communication methods (including a web-based and video-enabled service) with a payment layer provided by their smart contract system.
The company believes that this concept will help those who provide valuable content connect with buyers and enable the transaction to occur seamlessly via the authorization and payment layer they are raising money to try to build.
We recently sat down with Kamil Przeorski, the CEO of Experty to have a chat with him about the project as well as finding out his thoughts and insights.
Thanks for joining us today.
Can you tell us more about yourself and Experty?
I have been a software geek since I was very young. I have been engaged in online marketing activities since the end of 2003. I was working on different ideas for a while.
In 2014 we founded the React Poland software consulting company, which now is transitioning into the product development company called Experty.
Experty was born from a real business need that we encountered during our software consulting company. Because we are engaged with the blockchain / Bitcoin space since 2011 / 2012, blockchain became the obvious choice for this project.
That was how Experty was born. We had a problem and there was no product that was able to solve it.
How did you get the inspiration for Experty?
What was your thought process behind it?
We are solving a problem that we were faced with while running ReactPoland. When clients are asked to pay in advance, we don’t know exactly how long the consultations will last, so it’s difficult to charge them accurately. When we ask for money after the consultation, there is no guarantee that we will get it unless we’re using an intermediary, which costs money. We needed a solution. Experty allows consultants to accept cryptocurrency for their time and knowledge without the costly intermediary.
Who do you think will adopt this kind of model first? Clearly, you are targeting professionals who have valuable knowledge they can get paid to share. But where do you see this developing? Specifically paid seminars and YouTube applications. What else?
We’re focusing on the blockchain community, to begin with, so we believe it will be blockchain experts who are the first adopters. There is a shortage of blockchain experts and a great demand for them. Experty will help that whole community a lot. Expanding from there, we see a lot of potentials for companies to use Experty as a premium hotline service, as well as integrating within their own applications. Experty is a tool that anyone can use.
What do you think is the biggest problem Experty will solve and why is the problem important to solve?
Experty has set out to make it easy to give and receive money for time and knowledge. With it, payment friction is eliminated, and the entire world is able to easily offer their skills online. That’s a huge issue right now, and nobody else has solved it.
Why did you go with the Ethereum blockchain?
Smart contracts are essential to the functionality of Experty. It’s how payments are handled. That said, Ethereum doesn’t have to be the final blockchain used, but it is the most ideal at the moment.
