About Us
AGI is a knowledge broker of expertise and insight. Started by Harvard and Stanford alumni, AGI's management team stems from the same training as many of its users. It was founded on the idea that expertise and information should be shared through an understanding of limitations. We provide clients with "hard to find" expertise that enhances their research process. We partner with our clients thereby eliminating high fees and passing along substantial savings.

Combining the expert networks of Business Connect China, Circle of Experts, and Tribeca Insights, Advantus Global aims to be the largest source of global leading experts across all industries-executives, scientists, academics, consultants, and regulatory observers who can deliver fast and precise solutions to client issues through private telephone consultations, customized surveys, and in-person meetings. We pride ourselves on quick, efficient turnaround times for clients and a deep, vast repository of experts all around the world.

We pride ourselves on:


1. Providing the highest quality and most relevant experts according to client needs in minimum time frame
2. Carefully recruiting and managing quality experts and assembling them into a network for intelligence and knowledge
3. Enforcing the strictest compliance standards to protect our clients and experts
4. Offering the most cost effective solutions for global or regional projects
