This could make for an interesting idea for 'Quora for mentors', whereby someone pays money (maybe more than 1c) to ask a specific question to a 'business leader'.

Various companies have been doing this for a while (and it's a business model that existed long before the internet).

This is the one I know best and have used: https://clarity.fm/

It was great a few years ago for validation for a B2B product we wanted to sell and needed unbiased feedback on.

"It was great a few years ago for validation..." It isn't good anymore?

I don’t know, as I haven’t had a reason to use it.

It exists, it's called https://earn.com/. You pay in cryptocurrency, but it works.

I'm fairly sure that has been tried before a few times. Is it really needed though? Stack exchange is fairly good for free.
