Floqer AI agents keep sales CRM data fresh, open source in 2027
Floqer's AI agents research sales prospects across 100+ data sources and plan to open-source the customer database. Fix your CRM data before you buy prospecting AI.
Floqer is an eight-person startup whose AI agents research sales prospects and keep customer records current. It already has more than 1,000 customers, including Perplexity and Wise. It also plans to open-source its core database in early 2027. For a small business, the useful part is not the prospect lists. It is the admission behind the product: CRM data rots, and nobody is assigned to fix it.
What actually happened
TechCrunch covered Floqer ahead of its Startup Battlefield slot at Disrupt 2026. The company calls itself an "autonomous customer knowledge platform." You describe the buyers you want. Agents search for matching companies and contacts, then enrich each account from more than 100 third-party data sources.
For verified emails and phone numbers it uses a "waterfall": it tries one data provider, then the next, until one returns a usable result. Agents also watch for job changes, promotions and new funding, and update the records.
Floqer started as a Chrome extension. Enterprise users kept using it to clean CRM data by hand, so the founders changed direction. The company reports more than $1.2 million in ARR and $2 million in pre-seed funding from investors that include Perplexity's F7 Fund. It says customers cut prospecting time by up to 70%. That is a company figure. The article lists no pricing.
The open-source plan targets early 2027 and depends on security reviews, because the database holds sensitive customer data. Some customers want to host their own.
Why AI prospecting agents matter for your business
Bad data in, confident spam out. An agent that writes outreach from a stale record sends a polished email to someone who left the company in March. Before you buy prospecting AI, check how many contacts in your CRM bounced in the last 90 days.
Waterfall enrichment costs per lookup. Each provider in the chain charges. Ask any vendor how many lookups a single verified contact takes, and set a monthly cap.
Self-hosting is the signal to watch. Customers asking to host their own customer database tells you where buyers are going. Your customer list is the business. Keep it in a system you control, and let tools read from it.
