Frequently
asked questions

What is Palette?

A curated network of design studios matched to early-stage founders. You take a short quiz, we figure out which studio fits your stage, budget, and what you're actually trying to build.

How is it different from Googling?

Googling gives you whoever has the best SEO. Palette gives you studios that have been vetted, answered detailed questions about how they work, and are actively looking for the kind of founder you are.

How does the matching work?

You answer questions about your company, stage, and what you need. We use that to match you with a studio from our network that fits — not just by specialty, but by working style, timeline, and budget range.

Is it free for founders?

Yes. Palette is free to use.

How many studios are on Palette?

A limited, curated roster. We keep it tight on purpose — every studio on here has been reviewed and approved, not just signed up.

What kind of studios are on here?

Brand identity, product design, web, packaging. Mostly studios that work well with early-stage companies — they're used to founders, not just corporates.

What if I don't know what I need?

That's fine. The quiz is built for that. Answer what you can, and the matching will still work. Most founders who come to Palette don't have a polished brief.

How long does it take?

The quiz takes about 3 minutes. You get a match instantly. From there it's between you and the studio.
