I've spent the past year building an investigation platform for people whose work does not fit neatly into a spreadsheet, a notes app, a graph tool, and a reporting template at the same time. Now I need a small group of serious practitioners to help shape what it becomes.
InsightsNexus is a local-first workspace for OSINT and investigative workflows. You create entities, map connections on a graph canvas, run transforms against open sources, keep notes close to the evidence, and export findings without moving case data into a cloud workspace.
Who this is for
The strongest fit is someone who does real investigative work and has recently felt the pain of fragmented notes, evidence, entity graphs, transforms, and reporting workflows.
Likely fits
- Investigative journalists
- Corporate investigators
- Due diligence analysts
- Fraud and AML practitioners
- Threat intelligence analysts
- Government or law-enforcement investigators where appropriate
Strong signals
- You produce findings for clients, editors, case files, internal stakeholders, or security teams.
- Your work involves entities, notes, evidence, pivots, transforms, and reports that do not stay in one clean tool.
- You have recently felt the cost of fragmented OSINT, due diligence, fraud, AML, threat intelligence, or investigation workflows.
What you commit to
This is not meant to feel like a contract. The point is to set expectations so the program creates useful learning instead of vague feedback.
- Use InsightsNexus on at least one real investigation or realistic active workflow.
- Join a 30-minute feedback call every two weeks for 90 days.
- Share honest feedback when the product gets in the way.
- Report bugs or confusing workflows as they happen.
- Discuss at the end whether the product is worth paying for.
What you get
The exchange is simple: you bring real-world usage and candor; InsightsNexus provides access, responsiveness, and influence while the product is still small enough to change quickly.
- Free access for 90 days.
- Direct access to the founder.
- Fast response on bugs and workflow blockers.
- Visible influence on the roadmap.
- Early access to improvements.
- Founding-member pricing if you choose to continue after the program.
Trust and data handling
InsightsNexus is designed around a local-first workflow. Investigation data stays on your machine, no cloud workspace is required for case data, and the app is intended to work inside your existing VM, VPN, proxy, or hardened investigation environment.
Outbound product traffic is limited to transforms you trigger against public sources, as long as that remains true in the shipped build. The website itself collects the email address you submit to request access and uses privacy-focused analytics so I can understand basic site traffic.
Read the security and data-handling notes, privacy policy, and terms before applying if you work in a regulated or sensitive environment.
Why the cohort is small
The design partner program is intentionally limited to 8-10 practitioners because the useful part is not signups; it is close feedback from people who can point to a real workflow and say, clearly, where the product helped and where it got in the way.
Apply for the first cohort
Cohort one is planned for 8-10 working practitioners. Free access lasts 90 days, feedback calls happen every two weeks, and there is no obligation to become a paying customer afterward.
