About FounderNest
FounderNest – AI-powered market intelligence analyst
Founded by Felix González and his brother Miguel in 2018, FounderNest is an AI-powered market 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, patents, clinical trials, market trends, funding rounds, competitor moves and much more – FounderNest delivers early signals that give innovation,M&A and CVC teams a decisive edge.
And this matters because in today’s competitive landscape, innovation is fundamental to market differentiation and growth. But most companies still rely on outdated tools and static databases that miss what really matters – discovering emerging technologies and staying ahead of the curve. FounderNest was built to solve this problem by offering real-time, high-context market intelligence that reveals emerging startups and under-the-radar innovation before it hits the mainstream.
Where traditional platforms surface the obvious financial data and funding records, FounderNest uncovers what others can’t: early stage companies, overlooked technologies, and untapped markets. Its proprietary AI connects fragmented data using natural language processing, knowledge graphs, and machine learning models, meaning that FounderNest’s clients, including Fortune 500 giants, don’t just see trends, they anticipate them.
AI is embedded at the core of FounderNest. There is no manual tagging, no crowdsourced data, and no lag, meaning insights are fast, accurate, and continuously updated. The impact is measurable: clients source critical information 21 times faster and discover 47 percent more relevant companies and insights, often months or years ahead of competitors. By reducing scouting time by up to 30 percent, companies can also explore more opportunities, accelerate projects, and make smarter strategic decisions with confidence.
In a world where most corporate innovation initiatives fail to scale and the cost of missing the next disruptor is high, FounderNest equips companies not just to keep pace, but to lead.
“FounderNest helped us discover the hidden 20% – opportunities we would have never found otherwise. We can now map 100% of a space in record time.” Lluc Diaz, Director, Digital Innovation, Novo Nordisk
“The beauty of FounderNest is that it understands my search intent and identifies all the relevant startups we need. FounderNest gives me 10x the market intelligence power I had before. I can now research 100 spaces in minutes.” Carlos Cendra, Scouting & Investment Lead, MAPFRE
“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’ from FounderNest for our projects – we actually had six.” Marina Lutzenberger, Senior Project Manager Corporate Strategy & Digitalization.
