Expert Call
A scheduled consultation between an investor and an industry expert, typically arranged through an expert network.
An expert call is a structured phone or video conversation where institutional investors speak with industry specialists to gain insights for investment decisions. These calls typically last 30-60 minutes and cover topics like market trends, competitive dynamics, technology developments, or specific company analysis. Expert networks facilitate these calls by matching investors with relevant experts, handling compliance requirements, and managing compensation. Effective expert calls require careful preparation and skilled questioning techniques.
