Questions, answered
Is this professional business or investment advice?
No. AskSila provides AI-generated educational guidance from digital twins trained on founders' and operators' knowledge. It is not business, legal, financial, or investment advice, and is not a substitute for advice from qualified professionals who know your full situation. Always confirm decisions that affect your company, cap table, or compliance with appropriate advisers.
Am I talking to a real person or an AI?
You start with the founder's AI twin — an automated system trained on their materials, not the founder themselves. Answers are AI-generated and for education only. When you need the human for mentorship, introductions, or a deeper conversation, you can request their review or continue with them directly.
How much does it cost?
Getting started is free. Ask a founder's twin your initial questions at no cost. Deeper, personalised work with the expert directly may be paid, and you'll always see that clearly before you commit.
Can a founder actually help me raise or hire?
The twin helps you understand your situation, what applies to you, and what to prepare. For warm intros, term sheets, or hands-on hiring, you connect with the real expert to take it forward.
Is my startup information private?
Your conversations are yours. Share only what you're comfortable with to get a useful answer. You never have to upload sensitive documents or cap-table details just to ask a question.
