Floqer develops an AI-driven autonomous customer knowledge base that combines information from more than 100 third-party sources and internal company systems—including CRM, communications platforms, and sales records—to profile existing and potential customers. The system uses large language models and agentic AI to analyze structured and unstructured data, surface patterns and buying signals, and help users craft improved go-to-market plans. Co-founded in October 2024 by Shivam Mahajan and Zaaheda Islam, the Halifax-based startup has a team of eight and counts customers such as Wise, AngelList, Pulumi and Perplexity. Financially, Floqer reported 8x revenue growth year to June and annual recurring revenue exceeding $1 million. Following the funding, the company’s primary focus is enhancing its autonomous knowledge-base product, which the founders say is already functional and capable of identifying previously hidden customer patterns.

Innerlogic builds an AI-driven software suite that replaces traditional employee surveys with conversational, follow-up interactions to surface actionable, solution-focused feedback and generate customized employer reports with cited research and visualizations. The product profiles users via an initial question battery, conducts AI conversations to refine feedback and convert vague comments into action-oriented recommendations, and preserves anonymity to reduce fear of judgment. The company has a 40-client base split roughly evenly between sports teams and businesses, using sports as a beachhead while targeting companies with 500–5,000 employees. Founders Bryce Tully and Mike Bawol—formerly with Canada’s Olympic team—launched the Halifax company after the Tokyo Olympics and landed Own the Podium as their first customer. Innerlogic currently employs eight full-time staff and works with a fractional marketing firm in Nova Scotia. The team plans to use new funding to advance go-to-market efforts, elevate AI capabilities, hone messaging, and grow its digital footprint while scaling the product incrementally.
