Interesting idea. I started wondering what kind of experts I'd like to talk with. Didn't really come up with anything as I feel I could just google it so why bother people. Hmm ok yeah if I had some specific problem like starting a company I could definitely use some advice. Or change careers. Or move into another country. Anyway, great idea. Hope to see it work!

While you can ask any question on Coffee Chat (everything is acceptable), I agree!

This is where Coffee Chat helps the most, and it has the potential to help everyone of us. We constantly worry about some complex problem with no clear answer – I bet you, even you do. While you can google the complicated problems and get the answer, you will get contradictory, and generic answers to complex questions.

Most of us have a small group of people we speak with a lot, and we discuss those complex problems with those people. But these people naturally have only few areas of expertise. Connecting you with more expertise to discuss difficult questions is where coffee chat comes in.
