Floqer is building an autonomous customer knowledge base that combines public and private data to help companies find prospects and sharpen go-to-market strategies.

Customers include Perplexity, London-based fintech Wise, San Francisco-based AngelList, and Seattle-based Pulumi.
"AI has made it super easy for people to build software and build products really fast," Mahajan said. "But distribution is still a problem and Floqer helps companies go to market faster and more precisely with better go-to-market data."
