Frequently asked

Why do founders use OpenIQ?

Because the cost of a wrong launch, hire, or pricing decision dwarfs the cost of asking someone who has already made it. OpenIQ gives founders direct access to operators who have shipped the thing they're about to ship.

How is this different from asking my investors?

Investors are biased toward optics, optimistic on timelines, and incentivized to not surface concerns. OpenIQ gives you a neutral operator perspective from someone with no equity stake in your decision.

Is it affordable for a pre-seed or seed-stage company?

Yes. The founder tier is priced as a flat monthly subscription with no minimums, designed to be a line item even on a small budget.
