OmniGrade

What OmniGrade does

OmniGrade is a private crowdsourcing services firm headquartered in Vienna, Austria, founded in 2013 by Mikhail Treyvish, who continues to serve as President. The company operates a web-based platform that connects "omniclients" — companies and projects with ambitious strategic goals — with a global community of volunteer experts who contribute solutions to complex business challenges through structured discussions. The platform is anchored by the OmniSourcing Framework, a proprietary crowdsourcing methodology designed to address problems lacking direct analogues. Core product offerings include the OmniGrade Platform itself, OmniSourcing (custom crowdsourced problem-solving engagements), OmniVision (a strategic vision competition), FutureBook (a collaborative crowdsourced book on the future of human civilization), and the OmniExperts Community (a gamified expert pool of 457 professionals across 47 business categories). Notable enterprise clients span construction/buildtech (Coteccons Group, Vietnam), financial services (Dzing Finance, CAURI), retail apparel (KANZLER), HR technology (Empleos), startup acceleration (Boostr), and beauty services (Legend New York).

The business model is professional services: clients (omniclients) engage OmniGrade on custom crowdsourcing projects and pay for access to the expert community and structured problem-solving methodology. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the platform relies on voluntary expert participation rather than paid labor, with experts motivated through a remuneration program offering honorable statuses, privileges, and exclusive goods in an internal shop. OmniGrade markets primarily through content channels, including the FutureBook blog, OmniWorld newsletter, and the OmniVision competition, positioning itself as a thought-leadership-driven community-led growth platform. The company claims global operations across 13 countries spanning Europe, North America, the CIS, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, though its enterprise client base is small and engagement appears project-based rather than recurring. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or material scaling events have been disclosed.
