Rhino Capital: From GLG to Inex One

On my last project, GLG couldn’t find the right experts after a week of searching, so I spun up Inex One and got 18 great experts in no time.

Jacob Reiner is the Managing Partner of Rhino Capital, an NYC-based strategy consultancy. Previously, he was the Head of Strategy & Corporate Development at Zoomo, and part of Oliver Wyman’s Private Capital team. Rhino Capital supports mid-market private equity firms across the US. “The firm delivers about 25 due diligence projects and 12 growth strategy projects per year. Inex One has become my go-to expert network provider”.

Some of his favorite networks available on Inex One are founded by former employees at some of the incumbent expert networks. In particular, he likes to use Focal Fact, Northern Insights, and the Continental Exchange.

Many private equity firms have large prepaid contracts with GLG, with credits that they’re not using. This is out of habit; GLG is seen as a safe default option. But the quality has really eroded after they restructured and began offshoring.

Using expert networks used to involve lots of emails. Experts were all over the place in different email chains and platforms, and you never knew what it would all end up costing.

With Inex One pricing is transparent and the communication is far smoother:

We can launch the project to three networks at once, and they submit all their experts on the Inex platform. Prices are shown in dollars, none of those hidden credit price multipliers.

In addition, he and his teams are able to analyze all the transcripts with AI to extract quotations, capture contradictions or subtle factual mentions. This feature of Inex One helps save 5-6 hours of work compared to when using traditional networks.

It’s like an expert network, without the tedious administrative work!

By freeing up this basic coordination work Rhino Capital is able to do the real analyses that clients are paying for.
