Waitlists collect curiosity. Provano collects pledges — real customers, cards saved, charged only if enough of them agree with you. We're building it right now, in the open, and it opens soon.

No code, no pitch deck, no six-month gamble. One page, one number, one deadline.
Your offer, your price, your threshold, your deadline. "£12 a month, 30 backers, six weeks." Connect Stripe and publish. The page inherits our checkout, our counter, our rules.
They save a card in thirty seconds. Nothing is charged. The counter climbs in public, and every visitor can see exactly what triggers a charge, and what cancels one.
Reach quorum and you launch presold — billing starts when you go live. Miss it and every pledge dissolves, nobody pays a penny, and you just saved yourself half a year.
Signups cost nothing, so they mean nothing. Referral games and leaderboards inflate the number further. You launch to a list that was never going to pay, and find out the truth after the build.
A saved card is a decision, not a maybe. You see visits, emails and pledges separately — the honest funnel — and you find out the truth before you write a line of code.
Money never touches us — it flows from backer to founder's Stripe. What we hold is the trigger, and it only fires by the rules printed on every page.
Miss the threshold by the deadline and every pledge is voided automatically. Not refunded — never taken.
Subscriptions begin when the founder flips the live switch and backers get access. Vapour earns nothing.
Founders commit to a launch window in public. One honest extension allowed — after that, pledges are released.
What everyone else charges for.
Rising to £29 after launch. No subscription, nothing to cancel.
The fee buys the answer, not the outcome. Half of honest answers are "no" — that one's worth the most.
Yes, this is technically a waitlist. We hate it too. It's the last one we'll ever ask you to join: when Provano opens, the founding spots won't be promised to a list, they'll be pledged, cards saved, quorum enforced, the whole machine pointed at itself first.
