What is FennIQ.ai?
At FennIQ.ai, we believe that better leads build better businesses.
FennIQ was created for one simple reason: too many contractors, reps, and manufacturers waste time chasing the same public bid lists while their competitors get written into the spec months earlier.
We fix that.
Born out of frustration with stale plan rooms, overpriced “premium searches,” and shallow AI tools that just scrape your own site traffic, FennIQ uses true, purpose-built AI to scout early-stage project signals like planning filings, funding notices, agency minutes, and niche news so you see projects before they’re published to everyone else.
Each mention is checked, filtered, and verified by multiple AI layers to strip out noise and junk. What you get is a targeted early heads-up you can use to influence the spec, position your product as basis of design, and keep your competitors out before the bid room ever opens.
We proudly serve manufacturers, specialty trades, reps, and service firms who know that winning jobs on purpose — by shaping the spec, not fighting over scraps — is the only way to protect margin and grow pipeline.
This is modern lead generation for people who sell ahead of the bid, not behind it.
Web Listening
Smart Research
Our AI agent continuously monitors a wide range of sources for early indicators of new projects — not just headlines, but the context that surrounds them. It doesn’t just scan — it understands what might matter to your business.

Smart Research
Once a signal is found, FennIQ dives deeper. The AI evaluates additional sources, cross-references public data, and surfaces important details — like project names, locations, owners, timelines, and clues about upcoming specs. You get more than a lead — you get the story behind it.

Real-Time Intelligence
FennIQ sends leads where you need them — email, RSS feed, or CRM — complete with links, summaries, sales-fit analysis, and recommended next steps. Your team receives immediate, actionable insight.
Our Vision
We believe the future belongs to the companies who should win more but are held back by stale plan rooms and pay-per-lead traps.
At FennIQ.ai, our vision is simple. If you have the better product, better service, or deeper expertise, you should have the chance to shape the spec and secure your place before your competitors even see the job. Too many great teams lose to the old network because they hear about the project when it is already too late.
FennIQ changes that. Our AI finds early signals in the places bid rooms miss, then filters and delivers real opportunities while you can still educate, build trust, and lock out cheaper alternatives. There are no inflated lead fees, no recycled lists, just genuine project intelligence that shows up when you can actually do something with it.
Be the first in the door. Influence the decision. Win the work you deserve.
How We Started
FennIQ didn't come out of a boardroom. It came from the reality of trying to find good work in a tough industry.
Mike Brewer started his career in construction and spent years in architectural sales. Later, he led marketing and lead generation for sales teams selling locally and nationwide. Like many, he poured money into pay-per-click ads, trade shows, directories, and subscription platforms that promised results. At one point he was spending nearly four hundred thousand dollars a year just trying to get leads to find him instead of finding the right projects early enough to make a difference.
So he built what he wished he had. Nights, weekends, every spare moment went into figuring out a better way to scout early signs and stop chasing stale data. The first versions were messy, full of duplicates and dead ends, but hidden in that chaos was a glimpse of what sales teams dream of.
That's when he called Dan.
Dan Dase had been closing deals for decades. He set records at multiple brokerages and built and sold companies from the ground up. He has the instinct to hunt for opportunities and the strategy to turn them into results. When he saw Mike’s prototype, he knew exactly what it could become. Mike could build it. Dan could get it to the teams that needed it most. Both knew good companies were losing because they found out too late.
They went all in and rebuilt FennIQ to do what stale plan rooms and overpriced directories never could. Like the namesake fox, FennIQ listens for easy to miss early signals and hunts down projects, quickly and intelligently.
What started with construction and architectural sales is already expanding anywhere timing and early influence decides who wins the job. FennIQ exists so better companies can win more of the work they deserve.
