decision intelligence for founders · private beta · ~100 founders

👋

Hey - I built this because I was spending too much time keeping up with what competitors, markets, and regulations were doing. 30 tabs every morning trying to figure out what actually mattered.

So I built DESTA. It is basically an AI chief of staff that gives me a morning brief every day - what changed, why it matters, and what to do about it. Last week it flagged a competitor acquisition 11 hours before TechCrunch picked it up. I am still building it but it already saves me hours every week.

If you want to try it: sign up here (30 seconds, no credit card). Would genuinely love your feedback.

What a brief looks like

DESTA Brief - Feb 27, 2026 - 06:00

high · Competitive
Your largest competitor quietly acquired a design analytics startup yesterday. Their job postings confirm they are building the feature your Q3 roadmap depends on. Recommended: accelerate your timeline.

high · Regulatory
EU AI Act enforcement moved up - mandatory compliance audits begin Q3 2026, three months earlier than expected. Two of your competitors already published audit timelines. Recommended: review compliance roadmap this week.

medium · Market
Series B funding in your vertical down 34% QoQ. Your 18-month runway is now a competitive advantage. Recommended: watch, no action needed.

This is a summary. Your brief is personalized to your company, your priorities, and what you are working on right now. See full sample briefings →

What it does

DESTA is a decision intelligence platform for founders. Not a dashboard, not a feed - a decision loop. It tracks what is happening around your company and tells you what to do about it.

It delivers a prioritized operating brief every morning. Each item is sourced, scored for relevance to your situation, and paired with a next step: do it, delegate it, watch it, or ignore it. It adapts to whether you are executing, fundraising, hiring, or just overloaded. And it learns from what you act on, so it gets sharper over time.

How it works

Sense → Prioritize → Advise → Learn → (repeat)

It tracks competitors, markets, regulations, talent movements, and technology shifts. You configure what matters. It handles the rest.

Features

Daily Operating Brief

A prioritized morning briefing. The most important things first, with context and sources. Read it in 5 minutes over coffee instead of spending an hour scanning feeds.

Competitive & Market Intelligence

Tracks competitor hiring, pricing changes, product launches, funding rounds. Also covers market shifts and regulatory changes. You find out when it happens, not two weeks later from a newsletter.

Decision-Aware Prioritization

Ranks signals by what you are actually deciding right now, not just what is trending. Fundraising? Investor movements and comp valuations come first. Shipping? Competitive positioning and market timing float to the top.

Action Recommendations

Every signal comes with a next step. Do, delegate, watch, or ignore. Cuts the "okay but what do I do with this" problem.

Quality Gates

Multi-layer verification before anything reaches you. Sources are checked, signals are cross-referenced, confidence scores are attached. No noise, no hallucinations.

Outcome Learning

Tell it what you did and what happened. Rate signals, mark outcomes, give feedback. The system gets sharper with every cycle.

💬

I am sending this to about 100 founders I respect. If you try it for a week, I want to know three things: Did the brief save you time? Did you catch something you would have missed? What felt like noise? Email me at nameet@desta.ai or just reply to this.
