Maven Connect | Volume 1

A Message from Our Co-Founders

At Maven, we’ve always believed that the best ideas come from strong connections—between clients, experts, and our own team. That belief is what powers our platform, and it’s the inspiration behind Maven Connect, our new monthly newsletter. We want to keep you closely connected to what’s new, what’s next, and what we’re building together.

This newsletter reflects our ongoing investment in transparency and innovation. From interface upgrades to entirely new features, we’re working to make it easier for clients to move faster and for experts to access more opportunities, refer peers, and stay engaged. But it’s not just about better tools—it’s about a bigger vision.

Thank you for being part of that future.

How Can Maven Help You?

Evolving Our Vision: Why Open Talent Matters

We’re expanding what it means to be a talent platform. Maven’s approach to Open Talent connects companies not just to outside experts, but to the valuable knowledge that already exists inside their own walls—employees, alumni, and trusted partners.

The result? A more agile, informed, and cost-effective way to get things done.

New Feature: Complimentary Transcripts

Each expert consultation now includes complimentary transcripts and AI-generated summaries, giving you instant, searchable documentation of every conversation. This makes it easy to revisit key insights, share findings with your team, and streamline your workflow. So, you can focus on the next strategic decision, not note-taking.

Featured Case Study: How a Home Improvement Giant Tapped Expert Insight on Demand

When one of the world’s largest home improvement retailers needed a faster, smarter way to validate products across plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and more—they didn’t turn to traditional research. They built a custom expert network with Maven.

Expert Corner: Refer & Earn with Maven

Earning with Maven is simple and fast. Many experts earn thousands each year just by sharing opportunities with people they know.

Here are the two quickest ways to get started:

Invite Your Network – Copy your personal referral link from your Maven profile and share it on LinkedIn or other social channels.
Refer to Open Projects – Head to the Open Projects Board, which is full of active consulting opportunities across various industries. Click the Share & Earn button in the top right corner. We’ll guide you from there.

Start sharing. Start earning. It’s easier than you think.

Expert Tip of the Month: Add LinkedIn to Profile

Want to increase your chances of getting selected for consulting work? Make sure your Maven profile is complete and up to date—including your LinkedIn link. A strong profile helps clients quickly understand your background, and linking your LinkedIn adds credibility and context at a glance.

Here’s how to add it:

Go to Profile.
Click Account > Contact Information.
Paste your LinkedIn URL under Public Profile Link.
Click Save.

It only takes a minute—and it can make a big difference.

How Can Maven Help You?

We’re proud of what our community makes possible—breakthroughs, bold ideas, and smarter decisions every day. Whether you’re solving complex challenges or lending your expertise, you’re a vital part of it.
