Floqer, a Halifax, Nova Scotia-based AI-native GTM data platform, has raised $2M CAD in pre-seed funding led by N49P and F7 Ventures, with participation from the Perplexity fund and Denis Yarats, Perplexity CTO. The platform unifies data enrichment, buying signal detection, and workflow automation across 100+ sources into a living customer knowledge base that integrates directly with AI coding agents like Claude Code. The capital will support product development and team growth as the company scales its usage-based model.
AI Agents Drive Data Platform Demand
The timing aligns with surging demand for headless data infrastructure that AI coding agents can call programmatically. Clay raised $100M in a Series C at a $3.1B valuation in August 2025. Floqer's approach — building an MCP server and live APIs from the ground up — targets the gap left by web-based tools that require manual configuration.
CRM Data Decay Creates Persistent Pain
B2B data decays at 34% annually, forcing teams to constantly refresh records from static databases. Traditional platforms like ZoomInfo and Apollo charge per seat or limited credits while delivering incomplete coverage that AI agents cannot reliably use. Floqer addresses this by cascading through 100+ providers and using AI web agents to extract structured data from SEC filings, GitHub repos, and earnings calls.
Headless Architecture Differentiates Offering
Floqer combines waterfall enrichment, 80+ real-time signals, and self-healing records that auto-update when contacts change jobs. Unlike Clay's table-builder interface, the platform lets teams build and run entire GTM workflows directly from Claude Code or Perplexity Computer without engineers. One Perplexity campaign generated $600K in qualified pipeline and 68% more coverage on B2B signups.
Perplexity Backing Signals Strategic Fit
N49P led the round alongside F7 Ventures (Perplexity's VC arm) and personal investment from Denis Yarats. Perplexity itself became both investor and customer, validating the AI-native positioning. The company reports 8x revenue growth since June 2025, crossed $1M ARR, and remains cash-flow positive with most pre-seed capital untouched.
Data Enrichment Market Expands Rapidly
The data enrichment market stood at $2.37B in 2023 and is projected to reach $3.5B by 2030. The intent data enrichment AI segment is growing faster, from $1.91B in 2025 to $15.32B by 2034 at a 24.1% CAGR. Structural shifts toward agentic GTM automation and continuous verification are pulling fresh capital into the space, with competitors like Persana AI raising $2.8M-$3.1M in seed funding before merging with Rox.
Pricing Pressure Challenges Incumbents
Floqer's usage-based plans start at $299/month for 20K credits versus Clay's $495/month for 6K credits after its 2026 pricing changes. Third-party comparisons show 96.7% lower costs on LinkedIn enrichment and unlimited rows versus credit limits on legacy platforms. The model undercuts per-seat pricing from ZoomInfo and Apollo while delivering cited results from AI research agents.
