About Us
Sourcelyn was founded with a simple premise: research teams deserve faster, better access to the people who actually do the work.
Our story
Traditional expert networks were built for a different era. Weeks-long sourcing timelines, opaque pricing, and retired professionals offering outdated perspectives. As the pace of research accelerated, the infrastructure didn't keep up.
Sourcelyn was founded in 2023 by a team that spent years on both sides of the table — commissioning expert calls at consultancies and sourcing practitioners at expert networks. We saw the gaps firsthand: slow turnarounds that delayed projects, compliance grey areas that created risk, and expert quality that varied wildly.
We built Sourcelyn to close those gaps. Our network is built exclusively around currently employed professionals — people actively working in their fields who bring real, current insights to every conversation. We operate with full compliance transparency, fair pricing, and an obsession with speed.
Today, we serve research and consulting firms across London, New York, and San Francisco — helping them connect with the right expert in under 48 hours.
