Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about Finstig
Short, direct answers about the Finstig Intelligence Platform, how it works, programs for VCs and incubators, and how to get access while it is in beta.
What is Finstig?
Finstig is a business-building platform that helps you start and scale your startup with a sales-first mindset. Its core is the Finstig 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 Finstig Intelligence Platform?
One continuous experience that evolves with you and your business. It builds a living model of your company and uses it to give you personalized guidance, strategic insight and prioritized next steps. It is made up of four layers: Hybrid Advisors, Smart CRM, Business DNA and Master Intelligence.
Is there more than one version or mode of the platform?
No. There is one platform with one mode that grows with you. Nothing to migrate, no upgrade decisions: as your business moves from idea to scale, the platform adapts to what you need next.
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 does a sales-first mindset mean?
It means every decision is connected to how you will actually win customers and generate revenue. Instead of building plans in isolation, Finstig keeps commercial reality, pipeline and customer signals at the center of the guidance you get.
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?
Two audiences. Individual founders and small leadership teams building a business, and startup programs such as VCs, incubators and accelerators that want live, comparable data across their portfolio.
Which stages does the platform support?
Four: Idea (develop and confirm your assumptions), Design (build your business and commercial strategy), Execution (a prioritized map that adapts each week) and Scale (a permanent executive team watching risk, growth and progress). The platform moves with you between stages.
What do startup programs get?
Programs get an intelligence layer across the entire portfolio: live venture data, comparable progress signals across the cohort, early risk detection and less manual reporting, so program teams know where to focus their time and their capital. See the Programs page to request an offer.
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 platform is in beta. You can request early access and join the testing team to use it for free while we open it up stage by stage.
How do I get early access?
Use any Get Early Access button on this site, or go to the early access page, and complete the short application. We review every application, place candidates in the testing stage that fits their business and confirm by email.
How much does Finstig cost?
Pricing is not published while the platform is in beta, and testing team members use it for free. Plans will be announced before commercial launch.
What is The Finstig Club?
The Finstig Club is our founder community: a peer network with webinars, events, resources and shared learning so decisions get made, not postponed. Membership is free and upcoming events are listed on the Club page.
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. 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.
