Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first analysis

startupadvisor

At what stage of the entrepreneurial process is it useful?+

Especially at the idea or pre-seed stage, before investing time and capital. Also useful for validating a pivot, evaluating a new business line or preparing arguments for investors.

What does Go / Validate / No go mean?+

'Go' indicates the idea has solid viability and deserves to move forward. 'Validate' means there is potential but key hypotheses need testing before scaling. 'No go' indicates risks clearly outweigh opportunities in the current context.

Do the AIs know my local market?+

Yes. The more specific you are (city, sector, customer segment), the more accurate the analysis. Instead of 'food app', write 'home-cooked food delivery app for office workers in Valencia'.

Is the estimated capital figure reliable?+

It is an order-of-magnitude estimate based on similar businesses. It does not replace a detailed financial plan, but helps you know if you are in the thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of euros range.

Does it replace a mentor, accelerator or investor?+

No. StartupAdvisor is a quick, informed first filter. Its value is helping you think clearly before investing resources in real validation or seeking funding.
