What is Experts on Demand (EOD)?

Experts on Demand is a program crafted to link growth-stage companies with industry-specific experts, providing up to 100 hours of fractional support. Together, founders and experts collaborate to tackle challenges, drive growth, and expand their businesses. This isn’t a coaching program, instead experts are dedicated to creating customized deliverables that meet your specific needs. This initiative presents a remarkable chance to tap into high-caliber talent at zero cost.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

You are incorporated
Operate in the Edmonton Region
Have an MVP
Have an established market traction
Technology and innovation are core elements of your business
Have the potential to scale

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Accepted companies gain exclusive access to a curated list of vetted experts. Once you have selected an expert and a scope of work is agreed upon to align with the company’s expectations and the fit between the expert and founder, the expert will provide fractional support by developing specific deliverables for the company.

OUTCOMES

Increase traction and sales
Move from MVP to final product
Create a marketing strategy that works
Get ready to talk to investors and secure funding
Find and improve revenue streams
Enhance operational efficiency and streamline processes

BECOME AN EXPERT

Experts have reached the stage of their careers in which they’re focused on sharing their knowledge and recognize that they can gain as much from the coaching experience as the companies they advise.

As an expert in your industry and with a willingness to give back to the community, you can provide one on one support to help businesses grow. Edmonton Unlimited will contract you on behalf of the tech-enabled founder!

This program is offered at no cost, thanks to Alberta Innovates, through the Edmonton Regional Innovation Network, along with Prairies Economic Development Canada.
