Ethos provides an expert network that captures richer expert signals via voice-powered onboarding and uses AI and public data (blogs, academic papers, social links) to match experts to client queries. Its voice interviews extract broader, natural-language descriptions of expertise to surface sub-specializations beyond job titles. Ethos charges clients per-project fees (around 30% or more) and says it serves clients including hedge funds, private equity firms, foundational AI labs, and consulting firms. The company reports roughly 35,000 people join its platform each week and is on track for an eight-figure annualized revenue. Ethos was founded in 2024 by James Lo and Daniel Mankowitz and operates from London with a compact team of eight people. The articles note competition from conversational-interview startups but highlight Ethos’s focus on expert networks and AI-driven matching.
