Humint Solutions

What Humint Solutions does

HUMINT Solutions is a privately held Netherlands-based consulting and software firm founded in 2003 in Arnhem by Colonel (ret.) Haim Dror, a Harvard-trained economist and former intelligence officer. The company specializes in 'Open HUMINT' — consent-based, on-the-record engagement with experts to surface undocumented organizational knowledge that AI and traditional data-driven processes cannot reach — and applies its proprietary TINO methodology (Map-Ask-Integrate) to help multinational corporations, government agencies, and public institutions identify 'unrecognized experts' whose insights are not captured in published or searchable data.

The company's offerings span a tiered service catalog — from 1-2 hour keynotes to half-day and full-day workshops and ongoing multi-year embedded research programs — delivered by an international team of certified practitioners. In 2025, HUMINT Solutions launched TINO Software, an AI-powered SaaS platform accessible at usetino.com that embeds the TINO methodology into five specialist AI agents handling expert mapping, interview structuring, network validation, and gap analysis, reducing research timelines from approximately three weeks to a single afternoon for one analyst. Complementary offerings include TINO Sport (experiential team challenges led by former climbing champion Florien Sjoerdsma) and a published children's book ('De Bende van Super-Anders') that reinforces thought-leadership reach.

HUMINT Solutions operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales for consulting engagements with a self-serve product-led motion for TINO Software. Named customers span banking (Bradesco), infrastructure (CCR), aerospace (Embraer), prepaid corporate services (Edenred), retail (Carrefour), mining (Vale), manufacturing (Keter), and government (Belastingdienst, Ministerie), with operations across four continents. Revenue is generated through project-based and retainer consulting fees plus SaaS subscriptions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• BCG: Global management consulting firm that frequently embeds expert interviews and primary research into strategy engagements. Comparable as an incumbent that buys and conducts Open HUMINT-adjacent work at scale, but operating as a broad generalist rather than a specialized methodology firm.

Direct peers

• Tegus: Expert research platform (now part of AlphaSense) offering transcribed expert calls for investment research. Comparable as a tech-enabled expert insight platform; Tegus focuses on buy-side investment use cases while HUMINT spans enterprise and government.
• Guidepoint: Global expert network offering on-demand expert consultations to enterprises and investors. Similar value proposition to HUMINT's expert-mapping and structured interview offering, though Guidepoint is a marketplace rather than a methodology-driven consultancy.
• AlphaSense: AI-powered market and competitive intelligence platform serving enterprises with expert insights and document search. Comparable to HUMINT Solutions in its promise to surface hard-to-find expert knowledge through AI, although AlphaSense focuses on published/external content rather than live expert interviews.
• GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group): Largest expert network connecting professionals to industry experts for consultations. Closest direct analog to HUMINT Solutions' Open HUMINT model — both orchestrate expert access, but GLG is an established network while HUMINT brings a methodology-plus-AI overlay.
• Atheneum Partners: Global expert insights firm facilitating B2B research with vetted experts. Direct overlap with HUMINT's expert-mapping and on-the-record interview methodology, particularly in consulting and investment use cases.
• Coleman (Erebus): Expert network and primary research firm providing tailored expert consultations for due diligence and market intelligence. Comparable to HUMINT in serving enterprise intelligence needs through structured expert engagement.

Emerging players

• Hebbia: AI knowledge-worker platform using agentic AI to analyze documents and surface insights across enterprise data. Comparable in the use of multi-agent AI workflows, though Hebbia focuses on document-based knowledge whereas TINO focuses on live expert interviews.
• Glean: Enterprise AI search and assistant platform that connects to internal knowledge sources. Adjacent competitor because it similarly addresses the problem that critical organizational knowledge is hard to find, though Glean indexes existing data while HUMINT extracts undocumented expertise from people.
• Crayon: Competitive intelligence and market intelligence software platform that helps organizations track competitors and external signals. Adjacent because it also addresses the 'knowledge you don't have' problem via AI, though focused on external market data rather than undocumented internal expertise.
