Findest

Findest helps R&D teams “find the way” to better outcomes by scaling technology scouting and solution evaluation. It combines scientifically trained scouts with AI platform IGOR^AI, which searches by function across hundreds of industries to identify technologies that perform the needed function regardless of their names or origin. The company also offers “The Universe,” described as a software environment that structures scouting work and supports collaboration and knowledge sharing.

According to Findest, it uses a controlled sequence in The Universe—searching, ranking, document checks, and a “Judge Model” that evaluates accuracy and refines its search multiple times in seconds—while keeping results traceable to their sources. Findest positions its approach as built from hard-won methodology refined through 3,000+ projects and used by R&D teams at 400+ companies, aiming to reduce time spent on research and enable teams to map a complete solution landscape before committing resources.
