Terac

Get paid for your expertise — AI-native expert marketplace connecting 100,000+ verified professionals with frontier-AI labs and research firms.

Terac is a San Francisco-based, AI-native expert marketplace founded in 2025 by CEO Zachary Baker and CTO Jack Blair. The platform recruits, screens, and delivers verified domain experts to two kinds of clients: market-research firms running interviews / surveys / product-feedback studies (customers include Maze, Strella, Tegus, Ballpark, getWhys, and Dialogue), and frontier-AI labs needing scientifically rigorous human data for training, evaluation, and alignment. Founders describe expert labor as "the rarest resource in the world right now" and have built the company around closing the gap between companies needing specialized expertise and the qualified professionals whose knowledge "no one ever asks for." As of mid-2026 the platform has onboarded 100,000+ experts and hosts hundreds of active studies (479 at last count). The company has raised $9M and carries 5.0/5 ratings on both Trustpilot and Google — among the highest customer-satisfaction scores in the expert-research space.
