Bring a real question
What people borrow wisdom for
A few kinds of questions you could bring to a call.
How do I test my idea before building it?
What is it really like to move into a new field?
What should I know before opening a café?
How do I choose between two courses or careers?
What should I ask before signing a commercial lease?
How do I choose a stack I can actually maintain?
Your next step
Describe the call you need.
You do not need a perfect brief. Start with what you are trying to decide and where you are stuck.
A request, then a conversation.
Our team reads your brief, finds a suitable experienced person, and replies by email with their name, a proposed time and a quote.
You decide then. No booking or charge until you agree by email.
We use what you send only to reply to this request. See our privacy policy.
Pricing
Pricing you see before you say yes.
Each person sets their own rate for a 15, 30 or 60-minute call. We add a matching fee on top, and your quote shows both numbers.
Quick match
10% of the expert’s rate
Someone already on our list who fits your brief. 15 or 30 minutes, one proposed time.
Standard match
15% of the expert’s rate
We hand-match to your brief and give you up to two names with their rates. One free reschedule with 48 hours’ notice.
Priority match
25% of the expert’s rate
We go and find a specific kind of person who is not on our list yet, and send them a short summary of your brief before the call.
Example: an expert who charges $120 for 30 minutes costs you $132, $138 or $150. Nothing is booked or charged until you accept the quote by email.
Before you ask
A few useful answers.
Who are the experts?
We find experienced people for each request and check whether they can help and are available. We do not keep a public directory yet.
What does a call cost?
The expert sets their own rate and we add a 10%, 15% or 25% matching fee (see pricing). Your quote shows both numbers. You pay nothing unless you accept. Nothing is charged by this site.
How fast will I hear back?
We reply by email after reviewing your brief and looking for a suitable match. Availability varies, so we cannot promise a reply time or a match.
Is my question kept private?
We use your brief to handle your request. We may need to share relevant context with a potential match. Leave out confidential details, and tell us if anything needs special care. See our privacy policy.
Can I become a mentor?
Yes. Offer your time and tell us what you have done and what you are happy to discuss. Signing up does not guarantee calls.
