A Look At What The Startup Does

Mostafa Hisham, Mohamed Marei, and Taher Seif founded Xpovi for Digital Solutions L.L.C (“Xpovi”) in May 2021 as an Egypt-focused robotic advisory firm. 

www.xpovi.com introduces company planning solutions via an interactive, easy-to-answer questionnaire. The solution makes use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate data sorting and the construction of financial models. In an effort to democratize access to bespoke advisory, we are combining the art and science of financial modeling with traditional business planning. Xpovi created its own algorithm to convert a web-based questionnaire comprised of Multiple-Choice Questions, Drop Lists, and Check Lists into a completely detailed Business Plan that could be delivered the same day.

The business plan is divided into four sections: 1) financial forecasts, 2) assumptions, 3) addressable clientele, and 4) scenario analysis. The deliverables include a User Manual that guides and assists users in effortlessly iterating, pivoting, and changing assumptions as their business circumstances change. The business plan provides tailored data and insights on a five-year forecast basis in a multicurrency presentation, which includes the following: 1) addressable clientele identification, 2) forecast funding surplus (deficit) by source, 3) forecast revenue and cost models, 4) automated marketing budget, media plan, and customer acquisition strategy.
