Our take
Whilst the interconnectivity of the internet has mostly benefitted the world, it has blurred the line between legitimate information and misinformation. Whilst this affects everybody, it holds a particular threat for businesses and organizations conducting professional research, making it difficult to trust that information found online is legitimate.
Lynk provides a "Knowledge-as-a-Service" platform that indexes human expertise to unlock legitimate knowledge across business networks. The company focuses on indexing information relevant to investment firms, corporations, and professional services, indexing additional expertise of its users to contribute further to the network of knowledge.
Whilst industry-specific advisors and consultants present a significant obstacle for Lynk to cross, the company has been smart to recognize the fragmented nature of such knowledge sources, unifying them into a single point of trustworthy knowledge. Through this method, the company claims that it can help businesses gain the information they need for accurate forecasts and analytical insights, helping to boost revenue whilst facilitating the provision of legitimate knowledge to staff and clients.
