Common questions.
Is there really a free tier?
Yes. Spark is free — no credit card required, no trial period. Start today and upgrade only when you feel ready for more.
How is this different from an accelerator?
No equity required to start. No full-time commitment. No cohort schedule. Vestara works around your job.
What if my idea isn’t developed yet?
That’s exactly where we start. You don’t need to be ready — readiness is what we build.
Can I upgrade or downgrade?
Yes. You can move between tiers at any time. No penalties, no lock-in.
What does ‘investor ready’ mean?
Evidence of traction, based on a validated problem statement and real user experience, with a structured pitch narrative and a clear ask. We build all of this with you.
Your next step is free.
Start with Spark. Upgrade when you’re ready.
