About Lynk
We live in a fast-paced and ever-changing world where information is thrown at us from every direction. Yet, finding trustworthy insights that you can actually use remains as challenging as ever. Furthermore, a great deal of vital contextual information is still not ‘google-able’ or easily accessible.
For an analyst at a trailblazing venture capital fund or a management consultant tackling some of the toughest business challenges of our time, the insights used to make decisions can have a massive impact on not only the success of their firm, but in some cases, a company’s survival.
Lynk was founded with a mission to democratize access to knowledge. By leveraging proprietary technology and employing high-calibre people from a diverse range of backgrounds, we aim to extend the ‘traditional’ expert network business model to a broader community of users.
We help to bridge the knowledge gap by connecting our users with world-class experts for knowledge sharing and insights. Whether users have a quick question or need an extended engagement, we can find the right person to help.
Since 2013, Lynk has quickly grown to become a truly global network, with a multinational team based in Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai serving clients across every timezone in more than 20 languages.
