No deck. No format. Just tell it what you're building.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, no fluff.
Never. Every session on StartHub is completely private. Your idea is yours. Our human experts are vetted and bound by confidentiality. We also timestamp every session so you always have proof of when you shared what.
No. Most AI tools will validate your idea just to seem helpful. Ours is designed to do the opposite - ask the questions that make your idea stronger or save you from wasting months on something that won't work. And unlike a chatbot, every session connects you to a real human expert who adds judgment AI simply can't.
Our initial expert network comes from IIT Delhi - founders, builders, and domain specialists who've been through the same journey you're starting. Every expert is vetted, not just verified. You'll know who you're talking to before you talk to them.
For now, yes. We're in early access and we want real founders using it before anything else. That will change - but early users will always get the best deal.
Good. That's exactly the right time to come here. You don't need a deck, an MVP, or even a clear problem statement. Just an idea and the courage to question it. We'll help you figure out the rest.
ChatGPT will help you build on your idea. We're designed to stress test it. There's a big difference between an AI that says "great idea, here's how to build it" and one that asks "who exactly is paying for this and why won't they just use what already exists?" We're the second one. Plus - no AI gives you a real human founder in your corner afterwards.
No. In fact the earlier you come, the better. Most founder support kicks in after you've already committed - money spent, months lost. We exist specifically for before that. Come with just an idea. That's enough.
