Frontier Intelligence

Fobi is a research and intelligence platform for frontier technology. It continuously tracks the companies, funding, patents, hiring, and news shaping emerging sectors — from AI and semiconductors to robotics, quantum, and defense — and distils them into structured company profiles, daily briefs, and AI-generated analysis.

The goal is simple: help you understand where technology is heading earlier and more clearly, without drowning in fragmented news and hype.

Individual access is $10/month or $99/year, and every subscription begins with a 7-day free trial.

Fobi currently tracks 1,100+ companies across 30 live sectors — roughly 40 per sector — with further sectors in active development.

Live coverage today spans:

• AI agents & models, semiconductors, and quantum computing
• Robotics, defense, manufacturing, and energy
• Developer tools, data infrastructure, and spatial computing
• Voice, brain-computer interfaces, and health tech
• Payments and creative tools

Each company profile consolidates news, funding history, patents, hiring signals, key people, a structured bull and bear case, and AI-generated analysis — alongside a dedicated jobs board and the daily Frontline brief.

Fobi is a subscription product and does not offer a free tier.

The platform runs on paid data sources, AI models, and dedicated infrastructure. A paid model keeps Fobi independent and sustainable — free of advertising, sponsored placements, and engagement-driven noise — so the focus stays on the quality of the research.

Yes. Billing is handled securely through Stripe, and you can cancel, switch plans, update payment details, or download invoices at any time from the customer portal. No retention calls or cancellation forms are required.

If you cancel during the 7-day trial, you will not be charged.

Yes. The company plan is $100/month or $999/year. Register your work-email domain (for example acme.com) and anyone with an @acme.com address can sign in via magic link — with no seat management, SSO configuration, or procurement overhead. The purchaser manages billing through the Stripe customer portal.

Fobi aggregates and synthesises information from public sources, including SEC EDGAR filings, USPTO patent records, company disclosures, and reputable industry news.

Where AI-generated synthesis is used — briefs, bull and bear cases, funding and sector analysis — sources are cited. We are progressively integrating licensed data providers and proprietary datasets to deepen coverage over time.

Most data pipelines refresh daily; some sources update weekly, monthly, or quarterly depending on their cadence. AI analysis layers are regenerated as new information becomes available.

No.

Fobi is a research and intelligence platform. Nothing on it constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice, and it should not be relied upon as such.

General-purpose assistants are excellent at answering a question in the moment.

Fobi maintains a persistent, structured research layer — continuously tracking and contextualising companies, funding, patents, hiring, and news across each sector — so your intelligence compounds over time rather than resetting with every prompt.

Fobi is built for investors, founders, operators, researchers, and product and design leaders — anyone who needs structured context on frontier technology before it becomes consensus.

Yes. Member feedback directly shapes the roadmap. We ask every subscriber which sectors and capabilities they would like next and prioritise the most requested. Company customers can request priority coverage of sectors strategically important to their team.

To help ambitious people understand where technology is heading earlier and more clearly — building a trusted research layer for frontier technology and the community of operators, founders, and investors building it.
