About FounderNest
FounderNest – AI-powered market intelligence
Founded by Felix González and his brother Miguel in 2018, FounderNest is an AI-native startup intelligence platform helping corporations and investors discover high-potential startups and specific market spaces before anyone else. By analysing billions of unstructured data points – academic research, market trends, founder movements – FounderNest delivers early signals that give innovation and M&A teams a decisive edge.
In today’s landscape, innovation isn’t a buzzword, it’s a survival strategy. But most companies still rely on outdated tools and static databases that miss what really matters. FounderNest was built to solve this problem by offering real-time, high-context intelligence that reveals emerging startups and under-the-radar innovation before it hits the mainstream.
Where traditional platforms surface the obvious, FounderNest uncovers what others can’t: stealth companies, overlooked founders, and untapped markets. Its proprietary AI connects fragmented data using natural language processing, knowledge graphs, and machine learning models specifically trained for startup ecosystems. The result? Clients, including Fortune 500 giants, don’t just see trends but anticipate them.
What sets FounderNest apart is that AI isn’t bolted on, it’s embedded in its core. No manual tagging. No crowdsourced data. No lag. Just fast, accurate, and dynamic insights delivered at machine speed. And the impact is measurable.
“Where FounderNest really adds value is in helping us find providers we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. Our goal last year was to have at least two of those ‘unique hits’ for our projects – we actually had six. We’ve been able to reduce the amount of time that is needed for scouting by 30%. That gives us the opportunity to either run or test the solution a bit longer or reduce the total duration of the project – which means we can add more slots in the pipeline and do more projects.” Marina Lutzenberger, Senior Project Manager Corporate Strategy & Digitalisation, Fraport AG
FounderNest customers source critical information 21x faster and discover 47% more relevant companies and insights, often months or years before competitors. They’ve uncovered new verticals, forged earlier partnerships, and made smarter investments with confidence.
FounderNest is now evolving beyond discovery into predictive intelligence, using large language models to forecast startup trajectories and assess strategic fit. It’s also embedding insights directly into enterprise workflows, making it easier than ever to act on critical innovation signals.
In a world where 90% of corporate innovation efforts fail to scale, and the cost of missing the next disruptor is make or break, FounderNest equips companies not just to keep pace, but to lead. Because in the race for the future, the real risk isn’t taking action but standing still.
