For Buyers: Hiring Experts on Third Bridge

Common questions from investment professionals, consultants, and corporate teams.

How does Third Bridge work for technology due diligence?

Third Bridge offers two key products for technology due diligence: Forum (pre-prepared research interviews with industry experts) and Connections (direct 1:1 consultations). For technology deals, their research team curates relevant expert panels and facilitates efficient knowledge transfer. Third Bridge's analyst team pre-screens experts and prepares context, resulting in more focused consultations.

What is the cost of Third Bridge consultations?

Third Bridge operates on an annual subscription model, typically starting at $50,000+ for institutional clients. Individual consultations are included within the subscription. Their Forum product (pre-prepared expert interviews) offers more cost-effective access to expert insights. For technology-specific engagements, Third Bridge can arrange rapid expert matching within 24 hours.

How does Third Bridge compare to GLG for technology research?

Third Bridge emphasizes curated quality over volume — fewer experts, but more pre-vetted and contextualized. Their Forum product provides structured research that GLG doesn't offer. For technology due diligence, Third Bridge's analyst-supported model can be more efficient for teams with less technical background, as their research team helps frame questions and contextualize expert insights.

For Experts: Joining Third Bridge

Common questions from technology professionals considering expert network consulting.

How do I join Third Bridge as a technology expert?

Third Bridge sources experts through their in-house research team. They typically reach out to senior technology professionals identified through LinkedIn, industry events, or referrals. You can also express interest through their website. Third Bridge values experts who can provide structured, actionable insights — not just raw data. Strong communication skills and investment-relevant framing are important.

What does Third Bridge pay technology experts?

Third Bridge expert compensation for technology consultants typically ranges from $300-$1,200/hour. Forum interviews (pre-prepared research sessions) may have different compensation structures. Third Bridge tends to offer competitive rates for high-quality experts, particularly in specialized technology domains where expert supply is limited.
