Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about Finstig
Short, direct answers about the Founder Intelligence Platform, how it works and how to get access while it is in beta.
What is Finstig?
Finstig is an intelligent ecosystem that helps you start and run a successful business. Its core is the Founder Intelligence Platform: proprietary AI trained on the FINSTIG methodology, combined with experienced business advisors, guiding founders from first idea through launch, operating and scaling.
What is the Founder Intelligence Platform?
The Founder Intelligence Platform is Finstig's software product. It builds a living model of your company and uses it to give you personalized guidance, strategic insight and practical next steps. It is made up of four layers: Hybrid Advisors, Smart CRM, Business DNA and Master Intelligence.
How is Finstig different from generic AI tools like ChatGPT?
Generic AI assistants start every conversation without context about your business. Finstig is trained on a proven founder methodology and continuously builds your Business DNA, a connected model of how your company actually works. Because the context compounds, the advice gets sharper over time and is grounded in your real situation instead of generic best practice.
What is Business DNA?
Business DNA is a connected understanding of your entire business: what it is, how it works, why decisions were made and how every part relates to the rest. It evolves as you grow, becoming a living digital twin of your company that every other part of the platform can reason over.
What is Master Intelligence?
Master Intelligence is the executive reasoning layer. It understands the relationships between events, identifies patterns, uncovers opportunities, detects risk and turns thousands of signals into clear executive guidance so you always know your highest-impact next action.
What do the Hybrid Advisors do?
Hybrid Advisors combine the speed and scale of AI with proven entrepreneurial thinking. They guide you from idea to a launch-ready business, then continue as a permanent AI executive team that helps you operate and grow, with human advisors available when a decision needs a person.
Why does Finstig include a CRM?
Smart CRM captures and connects your customer relationships, sales conversations and deal flow into a unified intelligence layer, so every customer interaction becomes a strategic signal instead of a note in a separate tool. It covers exactly what a startup needs, no more and no less.
Who is Finstig for?
Finstig is built for founders and small leadership teams at any stage: exploring whether an idea is worth building, preparing for launch, running day-to-day operations, or scaling a growing company.
Which stages does the platform support?
Four: Developing (validating an idea), Launching (turning the idea into a real business), Operating (running it with data-driven decisions) and Scaling (growing with confidence). The platform grows with your business and moves with you between stages.
Do I need to be technical to use Finstig?
No. The platform is designed for founders and business leaders. You describe your business in plain language and Finstig handles the structure, analysis and follow-up work.
Is Finstig available yet?
The Founder Intelligence Platform is in beta. You can apply for early access to be placed in the right testing stage, or sign up for launch updates and we will let you know as soon as it is publicly released.
How do I get early access to the beta?
Use the Get Early Access button anywhere on this site and complete the short application. We review every application and place candidates in the testing stage that fits their business, then confirm by email.
How much does Finstig cost?
Pricing is not published while the platform is in beta. Plans will be announced before commercial launch. Join the launch updates list to receive pricing as soon as it is confirmed.
What is the Finstig Academy?
The Academy is a curated learning library built on the FINSTIG methodology. Because it is connected to the Master Intelligence, it delivers the right lesson at the right moment for what you are working on. The Academy launches alongside the Founder Intelligence Platform.
What is The Finstig Club?
The Finstig Club is our founder community: a peer network with shared learning, sessions and momentum from building alongside other founders. Membership is free.
Can I work with a human advisor instead of the platform?
Yes. Human Advisory offers focused 1:1 time with the Finstig team, remote or onsite, in flexible packages (Improve, Sprint and Scale). If you are unsure which one fits, get in touch and we will help you choose.
Who is behind Finstig?
Finstig was founded by Renan Borba and Eva Gómez, entrepreneurs who built the FINSTIG methodology from years of real startup and business experience and now encode it into the platform. You can read more on the About us page.
How does Finstig handle my business data?
Your business information is used to build your Business DNA and to deliver personalized guidance and product updates. We do not sell personal data and apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it. See the Privacy Policy for details.
