GuruStorms

The World's Experts At Your Fingertips

GuruStorms is the new brainstorming site that offers a unique business solution: a curated crowd of Gurus representing the world's best and brightest online experts. Our Gurus act as an on-demand "board of advisors" for your business, helping you strategize, address critical business needs, and overcome obstacles to your company's success.

The Tech Startup Guru Team

Imagine having 20+ industry-leading experts helping your tech startup, including Gurus like Chris Shipley, Sam Decker, Jason Cohen, and Dave Evans. For as little as $1000, these Gurus will offer your startup their best ideas in a brainstorming session lasting 10 days, and guaranteed to produce at least 10 expert ideas.

Check out a real GuruStorm

With every new Guru team, GuruStorms puts the experts through their paces and brainstorms with them before bringing the team online. For the Tech Startup team, we asked them for feedback on usability for GuruStorms itself, and also for next strategic steps for the site.

Want to see how it went? Here is just one of the Gurus' great ideas.

Meet Guru Chris Shipley

Chris Shipley is a leading technology and product analyst. Best known as the executive producer of the DEMO Conferences, Chris has helped technology companies bring over 1,000 new products to market since 1996. As a founding partner, chairman and CEO of Guidewire Group, she analyzes emerging technology companies around the world to identify market opportunities and accelerate products to market.

Custom Guru Teams

If one of our existing Guru Teams doesn't fit your requirements, a GuruStorms concierge can help you create a custom Guru Team, curated from our own experts, and designed to meet your exact needs.

One-on-One GuruStorms

Many of our best Gurus are also available for one-on-one brainstorming. These individual GuruStorms work just like team GuruStorms, but last 5 days, and are guaranteed to produce at least 5 expert ideas. It's a great way to do a deep dive on a topic with the one Guru who can best answer your questions.
