Every question
founders actually ask.

How is this different from an accelerator?

Accelerators take 4–13% of your company and 3 months of your time, and put you through a one-size-fits-all pipeline. We take cash, take 7 days, and run a process built for your specific question. We don't network you into investors — that's not the job.

How is this different from a product agency's "discovery phase"?

Agencies sell discovery as the on-ramp to a build engagement. They're financially incentivised to find a "yes." We're cash-paid upfront, independent of whether you build, and we'll happily tell you to kill the idea — agencies almost never do.

What if my idea is too niche or B2B for interviews?

If we can't recruit interviewees, we tell you that on day 3 and refund 80%. We've recruited for niche B2B — healthcare, legal, fintech, B2B SaaS. The constraint is whether 8–12 people in your buyer category exist, not whether they're easy to reach.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, mutual NDA before kickoff. Standard.

Can I bring my co-founder or advisor to the final call?

Yes — encouraged. The decision is rarely yours alone.

What if I'm pre-idea — I have a problem space but no specific product?

Then Skalora isn't the right step yet. You need a few weeks of problem exploration before you need solution validation. We don't run that stage — we do the next one, after you have a specific product hypothesis. We'll tell you that on the fit call and won't take your money.
