Floqer plans to make the technology powering its autonomous customer knowledge database open source in early 2027, provided it clears security reviews. It shared the plan with TechCrunch ahead of its Wednesday appearance on the Startup Battlefield stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.
Business-to-business sales and marketing teams use Floqer’s autonomous customer knowledge platform to understand their customers. Its AI-powered database continually collects customer information, organizes it, and keeps it up to date.
Prospecting can mean spending hours on Google, LinkedIn, company websites, job boards, and other sources. Teams must find companies matching a particular profile, work out which people to approach, and obtain their contact details. Floqer aims to handle much of that research automatically: users describe their needs, and AI agents search multiple sources to assemble company and contact lists.
For account enrichment, Floqer says it draws on more than 100 third-party data sources to add details about the companies a sales team targets. The system looks for verified email addresses or phone numbers through a “waterfall” process: it tries successive data providers until it gets information it can use.
Once a list is assembled, web monitoring continues. Customer records can be updated when a prospect takes a new job, earns a promotion, or works for a company that receives new funding.
Floqer describes a fleet of AI agents that research companies, people, and customer interactions on an ongoing basis, taking that work off team members’ hands. The company says customers have reported reducing the time they spend prospecting by as much as 70%.

Floqer’s founders, CEO Shivam Mahajan and Zaaheda Islam, met at university. Mahajan previously worked at Kyndryl as a software engineer; Islam was a senior data scientist at Axis Capital. Their original product was a Chrome extension, a different starting point from the customer database they now provide.
“We started with a Chrome extension, which is called ‘Super Chat,’” Mahajan told TechCrunch in an interview earlier this month. “Anybody can go and log in with their ChatGPT account and then understand [information] and take notes.”
Enterprise companies began using Super Chat to clean information in their customer relationship management (CRM) systems, the founders observed. Discussions with those companies showed that updating customer records was largely a manual task, with few established processes to keep the information current.
“When we spoke with them, they told us that it’s super manual for them to clean their CRM data, and there were no established processes around that,” Mahajan said. “So that was insightful for us, and then we pivoted from there to build Floqer.”
Since its founding in 2024, Floqer has raised $2 million in pre-seed funding. Participants include Perplexity’s F7 Fund, N49P, Tidal Venture Partners, and Perplexity co-founder Denis Yarats. The funding announcement is available at https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260707780529/en/Floqer-Raises-%242-Million-Pre-Seed-Backed-by-N49P-Perplexity-Fund-to-Build-the-Autonomous-Customer-Knowledge-Base-for-GTM-Teams.
Floqer says its staff now numbers eight and its customer count exceeds 1,000, with Perplexity, Wise, and AngelList among them. It reports annual recurring revenue (ARR) of more than $1.2 million and roughly tenfold growth in total revenue over the past year.
Access to the autonomous database remains restricted for now. “Our autonomous customer knowledge database is only available to a limited audience, mostly due to how much demand our team can actually serve properly,” Mahajan said. “But open-sourcing it will help us fix that.”
Customer requests also helped drive the decision to open-source the technology, Mahajan said. Some companies want to keep their data on systems they host themselves instead of in a vendor’s proprietary platform. Others want to adapt the technology or build their own work on top of it.
“Our mission is to really enable every team to build their central source of growth,” Mahajan said.
Floqer is reviewing security before making the database publicly available because it can hold sensitive customer information and is already in use at large companies.
