Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that Synapse is a “network” of “experts”. And no, because the comparison with conventional expert networks stops right there. 1. We don’t gatekeep peers from reaching out to you directly. 2. We charge a very minimal platform fee for every consultation to keep the network running, so you earn the most for your insights 3. We’re peer-driven and peer-vetted. In short, we are by peers, for peers and of peers.

Simple, the buyer who’s seeking a Peer Guide’s insights pays the Peer Guide. The buyer is evaluating technology options costing their business tens of thousands of dollars. This buyer gets honest, insightful and 1:1 guidance from their peers (Peer Guides) on Synapse. With battle-hardened insights from Peer Guides, buyers get to make costly technology purchase/ renewal decisions with much higher internal conviction, and at much quicker time.

We will review your details and get in touch with you for a 10-minute onboarding call.

As a Peer Guide, you can choose to do one-to-one user consultations via live video calls or via offline survey responses.

If you choose to, you can charge starting from your 3rd consultation and the rate is really up to you. But, set your rate based on a simple gut check: "What would I pay for an hour of insights from someone with my level of expertise?".

No. Synapse prioritizes genuine and direct peer connections. Unlike anonymous review sites, we facilitate 1:1 consultations with identifiable, verified professionals who can provide authentic, contextualized insights about AI and SaaS vendors.
