Do you have women on your panel of experts, and if not do you have plans to add women to your panel of experts? Asking not because "OMG MORE WOMEN IN TECH" but because the experience of being a woman trying to navigate a tech job is going to be different than a man's experience, so I would have more confidence in signing up for/recommending your service if I knew it catered more towards my specific demographic.
Also, what's your geographical range of companies you're working with? Companies all over the US? Only SV? Only West Coast? Worldwide?
We have multiple women in our expert network. I should have highlighted them... doh. We'd love more! https://jobstart.co/experts
This was a pivot -- we started off as a mentorship platform, so we're not actively using all of our expert pool at this time. After realizing the nuances of mentorship were making us solve the mentorship problem instead of the job placement problem, we moved onwards. Fun fact: we didn't have any female experts until we had about 30 male experts. But that changed quickly! The first one liked helping out so much she personally invited all of her friends, and all the sudden we were nearly 50/50 for short while. :D
We have contracts with mostly Silicon Valley startups, but there are a couple in there from NYC and even Georgia. The fact that we don't force our candidates down our own funnel though, and will help them attain a job anywhere, is our real uniqueness.

Getting a good candidate:expert match sounds integral to your model, so it may be useful to have a process for leveraging your expert network to review the pairings (including the advice they produce and candidate feedback) to identify places where the coaches may need coaching, or the fitting process may be able to improve.
