If you see a collaboration Opportunity posted on the Crowdhelix platform that you feel you would be a suitable match for, you can respond to it by contacting the Expert who posted it:

• You can leave a Comment on the opportunity, which will be visible to either the Crowdhelix Network, or to the general public, based on the visibility settings of the opportunity;
• You can contact the ****expert who posted the opportunity by sending them a Direct Message.

If you feel that the opportunity would be of interest to a collaborator you trust, you can also 🤝  Share the Opportunity with them instead.

<aside> ⚠️ If your account is part of the Extended Network, which means that your Organisation is not a member of the Crowdhelix Network, you will only be able to respond to opportunities by leaving Comments on them. You will not be able to send new Direct Messages, however you can respond to messages sent to you by other Experts.
