Hi!
We were waiting for you!

We know these are busy days for everyone and that you have plenty of options, so thank you for taking the time to read this posting! 😉

🤝 This is us, using AI to (truly) disrupt an entire industry

Born at Stanford and Wharton, FounderNest is a gen-AI company in stealth mode that helps (today but with huge potential expansion opportunities) corporations in the world improve and streamline their market intelligence processes, including (for their spaces of interest): (1) helping them understand the taxonomy and dynamics of the space, (2) mapping out all the players, (3) getting unique insights about the space (e.g. growth rate, investment activity); and (4) tracking what their competitors are doing.

Our core technology is built on real-time analytics running on private and public company data. This fuels our Natural Language Processing AI with +60M companies and +1.2B aggregated data points, allowing us to be 3x-5x better than alternatives.

We are proud to count amongst our clients some of the largest corporations across a wide range of industries worldwide — for example, 4 of the Top 10 Pharma companies worldwide, two of the largest management consulting firms, one of the largest biotech companies, and one of the largest food & beverage companies in the world.
