Expert Sources.
On Deadline.

You tell me the story. I find you 2–3 verified, credentialed Canadian experts who can speak on the record — matched to your topic, available before your deadline.

NB
A note from the founder "I'm running this personally right now — no algorithm, no automation. Every match is human-reviewed. That's not a limitation. That's the point. You get better sources because a person who understands Canadian journalism is doing the matching."

What We Are Right Now

A founder-run, manually operated journalist-expert matching service. Every query is reviewed by a human who understands Canadian journalism. Right now that's a feature, not a bug.

🚧

A full AI-powered platform with thousands of verified experts, a journalist dashboard, real-time matching, and bilingual EN/FR coverage. The manual phase is how we prove it works.

🎯
What You Get Today

Free query submission. Verified expert profiles in your inbox within 4 hours. A direct introduction to your source. No cold outreach, no unverified databases, no missed deadlines.

The Problem We Solve

Finding the Right Expert
Shouldn't Take Half Your Day.

Canadian journalists are doing more with less. The one thing eating the most time isn't writing — it's sourcing.

01

No Verified Canadian Expert Database Exists

US platforms don't understand the Canadian context. LinkedIn is a cold-call lottery. University directories are 10 clicks deep. There's no single place to find a credentialed Canadian expert, fast.

02

Cold Outreach Takes Hours You Don't Have

Find a name, verify credentials, track down a contact, send a cold email, wait, follow up, discover they're unavailable. Then start again. On a 4-hour deadline, that process kills the story.

03

Unverified Sources Put Your Credibility at Risk

Anyone can call themselves an expert. Without credential verification you're relying on Google and gut instinct. One bad source in print is a correction. One on air is a crisis.

Are Telling Us.

"I submitted a query on a Friday afternoon for a Monday morning deadline. By Saturday morning I had three verified economists in my inbox. One of them ended up in the piece."

"The fact that someone actually reviewed my credentials before listing me — not just an automated form — is why I trust this. My name means something. I want it represented properly."

"I've been quoted in three stories in six weeks since joining. Before this I'd had maybe one media inquiry in two years. The difference is that my credentials are visible and verified."
